    Humorous is it not, that many drivers assume that the government thinks they're supposed to sleep the whole "10"....Do they assume they're supposed to sleep the whole "34" as well?....:biggrin_25526::biggrin_2559:

    This thread points out how out of touch the government is with truck driving. Everyone here has a different operation with different needs. There is no way a single set of regulations can accommodate everyone, but the current rules do it better than the new ones coming.

    Aw C'mon....only if you like pulling for the mega-training companies. Get on with a smaller outfit and you can do much better than minimum wage.....

    at least before the wife gets a hold of the check!:yes2557:

    I think 34 hrs is too much,HOS is always changing.Next hos will be to take a 48 hr reset.Wonder if all the new laws have cut down on the accidents and has improved safety.
