Is there a "BUFFER" to get to the next truck stop when the driving as no more hours ?

Hahaha me either. To me it's my press the gas harder so you can make it back home tonight hour.

 

I do that too. But my “buffer button” only gives me a one hour extension. Darn Sterling trucks!

 

HOURS OF SERVICE SUCK, the ELD only forces that fact to come out.

OOIDA won't make any difference, there are bigger issues that they should have gone after, but I don't see any group of truckers actually organizing.

 

Personal Conveyance. No load, terminal to truck stop.

 

Good read.

I Don't care what the E-Logs or Rules say.............

They Don't Like it, That's just Tough.

 

Isnt OOIDA a group of truckers and/or their representatives?

 

Truckers were limited to 10 hours driving for 60 some years. They added the 11th hour in 2004 as the 'buffer' so drivers could max out their 10 and use the buffer to find legal parking. Over time drivers wanted to use the 11th hour as a productivity hour, *then* think about parking.

 

Does that part of your post mean we can't get a ticket for a violation flagged by the little black box (ELD) after 8+ days from when it was recorded? I thought the troopers had access to go back in the records as far as they might desire.
