    I am.

    It's called multitasking. It takes very little time to disprove these peoples stuff.

    Big business like P+G, Conagra, DuPont, Mars have paid their political campaigns for this. They want to prove wasting a drivers time does not make the roads unsafe. They (the shippers) are whining about drivers holding their feet to the fire on detention and want to go back to the good old days of "Just shut up and go take a nap driver. We will wake you up whenever we finally get you loaded and you can drive like your ### is on fire and your hair is catching until you get to the next dock where we will tell you the same thing". And because folks incapable of trip planning are whining how tragically unfair life treats the unprepared.


    It is presented as a study to placate these people. I doubt the 14 hour is going anywhere. In fact I look for a reduction in a decade. 10 hours 12 on duty.

    Well gee you got us there ol brains.

    However ELDs do not judge being rested and no one has ever said they did. Well except for the ELDORME idiots. What they do is record 395 compliance. Nothing more, nothing less.

    All the rest is made up bullshippie.

    So, your argument is that Congressman Babin is actually doing the bidding of Big business? I suppose you believe there were several shooters on the grassy knoll in Dallas too?
     
    Trucker61016 and Oxbow Thank this.

    That is probably one of the flexibility measures Babin is endorsing. We know that the FMCSA is actually studying this option right now.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Another thing I hope Babin is advocating for is the elimination of the 70 hour rule. 70 hours in 8 days is the stupidest rule anyone could have ever concocted. Eliminate that and modify the split berth provision and I think that is a reasonable middle of the road solution.

    Some people need kindergarten-type supervision their entire lives, from cradle to grave. They need Big Gov holding their hands and telling them how to behave.

    Shame they feel the need to impose the same BS on us adults
     
    DSK333 and Pedigreed Bulldog Thank this.
