    BUT since nobody in the top brass of the FM CSA has ever drove truck or been around trucks they don’t know how hard our job is either!

    First of all, there is no way to know that, secondly.. driver's could change that if they wanted too.. but its easier to just be a victim

    This is what happens when the drivers wanted to be victims and cried and whined, then welcomed the media into their trucks and showed them how they had to run illegal logs to make themselves money and it was everyone's fault but theirs.... Then they cried and whined to the government to come and save them.. and the government did... odd how that happens.

    The nature of HOS rules. Sucks sometimes. If only trucking was a regular 9-5

    I sent almost exactly what you wrote to my Congresswoman and Senator 2 years ago.

    STOP. Do not go home. Get back in your office for 10 hours, then you may go home. And you can't work while you're in there either, just rest.

    I am proud of you for sending that letter. If I were magically transported to some special land where I were part of a committee that wrote the hours of service rules, I wouldn't have all the answers but at least I would know what impact the rules have.

    I'm just wondering why this is about FMCSA, which allows going home under PC and not the company which obviously doesn't.
