NPTC counsel: 34-hour weekly restart likely gone

Well isn't that just all in all... super.

 

This stinks!

 

As strange as this may sound to you there shouldn't be a restart.
When you think about it like this.

Hos are in place to insure that you as the legal trucker that you are are getting your adequate amount of rest.
You as a trucker have a right to work and if you have had your mandated rest you should be good to go right.
No your government has said you cant work if we you have worked reached the limit on your work week.
Last time I checked no driver was recieving subsidies for not driving.
If saftey is the issue then when a driver has the required rest peroid.
He or she should be free to work until the next required rest period.

This rule is insane and unless the united states government wants to start giving us money not to drive the 70/8 60/7 rule needs to be thrown out.
America land of free and land of oppurtunity, unless you happen to be employed as a truck driver then you can only make so much.

 

The main thrust of the article seemed to indicate that the court had thrown out the 11 hour drive time and the 34 hour restart. The court did not force a reversion to the old rules. Therefore, FMCSA could, if it dared, hand down rules for a 12 hour drive time and a 24 hour restart (or any other version) without violating the court's orders. The only thing that matters to the court is that the 11/34 are no longer the rules. Hmmm...

2xR thinks that if no one can make up their collective minds, let's have no rules, therefore, no arguments.

 

Hmmmmm..... I get the feeling that no matter what everybody should buy a 55 gallon drum of vaseline to prepare for whats coming. :smt096

 

What is odd though, is that Public Citizen is one of the groups that sued to keep the Mexican trucker out of the US.
Help us one hand........#$rew us on the other.

 

I doubt anyone from NPTC has a clue what is going to happen, their is so much litigation on these issues, its hard to say what will happen.
