care to show the link? So that we'll know your numbers are true?
The instance has been many. And heard by many. Everytime a truck driver has been pulled over just because the officer could.
From your own quote
Therefore a study of a few, doesn't coincide with the many. A one size fits all, doesn't fit all.. As a matter of fact, this HOS only allows a certain amount of people to actually run safe. The rest of us, find that it endangers us and others, if we comply with the HOS. Or that it is reduces our income. So how can we respectfully go along with any laws that we know makes us and others "unsafe" and reduces our income?
Are you in favor of prosecuting people who are about to commit a crime? Maybe we should just start having the death penalty for 1 year old kids, because "the gooberment" has done a study that say certain people with certain types of families are going to produce a killer? I know that sounds very extreme. But your talking about punishing people for a "pre-crime". Punishing people who haven't hurt anyone or anyones property.
Freedom doesn't always have a "good" side.
The biggest factor involve in this thread, is freedom. The freedom to do what we, as individuals, deem necessary to live and work the way we see fit. And not what the gooberment says. When the HOS were instituted, there was a need to allow the truckers to make more of the decisions, than the ones than their boss's or brokers. But it shouldn't have been handled by the federal government. It should have been handle by the drivers.
In todays times, we have so many drivers who would tell their boss's to go pound sand if they were ordered to do more than they knew they could personally do. Not to mention the fact that the insurance companies have a huge say-so in the trucking companies safety. After all, if you owned a trucking company, and your dispatchers were pushing your drivers too hard, im sure the insurance company would step in if too many claims were being made by your company.

Geez Ellsworth the misinformation just continues to pour from you.
You can carry in a commercial vehicle.
Your freedom does not include a right to conduct business on a public road.
People right here on this very board brag about driving half asleep just so they could keep their job so the self preservation argument is moot. -

BTW, mr Big Brother lover, if you don't like FREEDOM, Liberty or our second amendment, then why are you still in the USA? There are other countries where people like you, are complacent to the governments rule from cradle to grave. -
You miss the obvious flaw in your post. That regulation covers me and any other legal carrier in a territory without reciprocity for my permit.How ever no where in that law are the words commercial vehicle, commercial driver, or any wording seperating a CDL holder from any other law abiding citizen.
So again your wrong on that count. Though I am curious how pointing out that I can in fact carry my side arm makes me anti second amendment? Must be more of your circular thinking I suppose.
Now I assume your mini tirade has to do with me pointing out the fact you have no right to using this road. Sorry it may be a fact you dislike but you simply do not, and you surely do not have the right to conduct business on it. What you have is a granted privilege so long as certain conditions are met. -
I don't believe that a study group or a bunch of pencil pushers can make regulations from stats that will make roads safer with out looking at real life situations. I would gladly work 5 5 hrs a week for $90k a year no matter how many miles I do with a e log type recorder on my truck with an hour for lunch and an hour for dinner. Just like the office guys and gals. But the companies would loose profits or a loaf if bread and a 6 pack would be $150.00 so what do they want safety or cheap products? I think we know the answer we are all to be under payed slaves.
Ps I am a well seasons veteran with 20 sum years. I don't think 90k is out of bounds with two tenyear inhrdman2luv Thanks this. -
Title 18 Setcion 926(a). The peacable journey law.

So if a state says you can have it loaded and not locked up, you can. Words have meaning! -

Commi much?
BTW, my little tirade, only pertains to us FREEDOM loving Americans. Not the commi ones.
PS... Have you seen the polls lately, So far, there are 58 freedom lovers on this board.. I didn't see your name on any of them? Still don't want to take a stand on anything..
