    Let drivers borrow an hour from their 70 to use however they see fit. No traffic emergencies or extreme weather required. When you go over 11 the time-bank gets activated and taken from your 70. I'm sure I'm overlooking details like rolling recaps and stuff but this would solve my main source of stress in driving. Somebody make this happen please. Thank you.

    Explain in detail a situation that matches your "main source of stress in driving"... Then some of us may be able to give you some tips and pointers to avoid such situations.

    I rarely stress over my HOS... And I run 3500 to 4200 miles every week on ELD. It all comes down to time management and knowing where/when to find parking. Many will say trip planning, but I myself trip plan on the fly... And its always changing.

    I think you are under the illusion that the government is run by rational people and that rational people would use this perk rationally. Unfortunately none of that is true.

    You've never tried to make a trip in one day and come up 20 miles short, ruining your reset opportunity or any other pesky thing that having and extra 60 minutes would solve? Get on board with this, guy. Drivers will build statues of me for this some day.
