People whine and complain now any time there’s talk of raising the minimum insurance requirements, what do you think the cost of insurance would do if it was a giant free for all and everyone could drive as much as they wanted? Couple that with a decrease in rates because of increased capacity and everyone would really be crying the blues.

I'll be honest. I've driven under the 8/10/15 rule and all permutations of the 10/14 rule. I am as close to as happy with the hos as they will get. I really don't think a human should be sitting, driving a truck for more than 8 hours straight. I don't think that the hours that you stop to sleep should shift so much that you're taking your sleep 12 hours from when you did 3 days ago. I like that I can stop the 14 hour clock and avoid running through downtown at rush hour. And I'm happy that I can comply with this and not be in violation because I left 5 minutes too soon, or I can pull my truck up from the back 40 to the front 40 at Iowa so I can take a shower without tripping the eld to driveline.

Go back to 8 hours.it allows you to keep a normal cycle.Waiting on the clock when you could be driving is a waste of time.

there should be 2 rules for hos..1 for owner/ops and another for company drivers....

Never paid attention to HOS when I was on long haul,,,just mashed on it for 4 or 5 days each week to get me home. Running legal would mean no 2 or 3 day weekends
