new HOS regulations fast approaching..........

At least with the 34, you have a choice to use it or not. The 30 is there. So I would prefer, of the two, to get rid of the 30 min break requirement.

 

I run on recap. No need for 34-hour restart. Problem solved. I only do a 34 when I actually have to wait over the weekend to deliver.

 

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]Lawmakers call for a holdon new HOS regs[/FONT]
Three more lawmakers have joined the call for the Federal Motor Carrier SafetyAdministration to hold off on implementing the new hours-of-service regulationsin July. They join several members of the House Transportation andInfrastructure Committee who sent a letter to Transportation Secretary RayLaHood earlier in the week.[/FONT]

 

More fickle requests from a disfunctional group of non useful idiots. Those lawmakers want a hold on HOS reg implementation, but just a couple of weeks ago, they were brow beating Anne Ferro over at the FMCSA to get out an EOBR mandate reg by fall. My bet is that FMCSA looked at the lawmaker's request, and filed it in the bottom of the bird cage.

 

Political games. Why I never liked politics.

Those who want to make these laws should have to spend a year in a truck dealing with all the issues it causes. The electronic logs is great, but there needs to be more flexibility in them for the times when you are caught at a shipper or receiver and they have used all your hours while you wait. And to heck with all this other nonsense they want added.

 

Funny how the ATA suddenly gets into the act when it becomes obvious that THIER members ( the bosses) wallets are going to be affected by a rule change. When it only affected the people who actually have to drive the trucks and get delayed loading and unloading all the time with no legal recourse re; HOS, they didn't give a rats ###.

 

Husband is at a Tyson, a truck came in after him and bumped the dock and pulled his curtain, that tells you a lot. They should make these places build a larger warehouse with cooling/freezing capabilities and then load the production load into there till the load is finished, then maybe they could schedule a truck to come in and it get loaded on a timely basis. And perhaps someway the load might even be counted right in some cases.

 

Until the Fed mandates shippers and receivers pay detention, the truck will continue to be the rolling warehouse. The flip side to that coin is that rail can move it to compete at that level.
