This will slow down freight enough to get plenty of attention and there is nothing the law or anyone else can do about it.First run hours exactly the way we are supposed to,no more no less.Take breaks when we are supposed to,sleep a full eight hours eat three meals a day stopped and relaxing not driving.If a shipper or reciever holds us up more than 30 minutes count that time as work time,and when your day is up stop working.Drive the speed limit only obey every law you possibly can.Work like people do on all other jobs this will slow things down so much and cut income to cities and states so much they will panic.Tell me what you think I think it will get attention.
How about running totaly legal for a month

I support it, but as we all know its just pissing in the wind. 5 guys will do it and 1005 wont. All your doing is hurting yourself, fuel aint gonna go down till the market changes. There still will be plenty of roaches pulling that 1.35 freight.

I know you are 100 percent right,I just thought it might be something to think about.It would be strange to see truckers working 40 hour weeks instead of 100 hour weeks.

Oh how much this would make me HAPPPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
SHOOT I SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT NO ONE ON HERE WILL RUN LEGAL NOW
Actually if you all ran legal this would spread the freight a little more evenly (sp?) and ALL DRIVERS would be happy (well the one's that actually want to work/drive like they should "10 hours # least a day").
I am serious many of you would see what I am saying! Load hoggers won't get them while your sitting there doing the right thing!
Ok sorry I had to say it,you had to expect something from me in this thread

I wouldn't go as far as working 40 hours a week, wow you wouldn't get much of a pay check "would you" so that would only hurt you and your family.
running legal you would see a steady income (if all drivers did it) and less stress of how to log it illegally or stress of getting caught. Wait some don't care
Maybe that's why I had to let another driver go yesterday
It stinks! I hate that part so I wish you all would do the right thing

Ok yell at me

I'm with 550hpW900L
Fuel prices will continue to increase, just as will more regulation and laws.
I say make every nickle you can now, while you can, with whatever means necessary, short of killing people on the highways, or doing any physical damage to anyones property.
The elected (bought and paid for) represenetives in Washington DC could care less about our well being. This includes the fine folks at the FMCSA.
The sooner everyone realizes that, and the motives, the better. -
Good idea about running legal. Thought about that one 20 yrs ago and been doing it ever since.Works for me!!!!
