    No you don't eat, so you're quickly fatigued, now you have to stop and eat, all the while you've been a threat to everyone because you are fatigued. Also you're schedule is AFU now too.

    As I have said before, a man has to know his limitations. Some days I can drive 14 hours, some days I only want to to run eight.

    I also believe that castrated trucks are another big problem. I lose count of how many mega trucks blow through construction zones and dangerous conditions to make up time for that 64 mph truck.

    The interest of small Cos. Is of no concern to Politicians. They’re after easy audits. When’s the last time you gave $175.000 donation? That’s what it costs for your opinion to be heard. Plus a free lunch. Lol

    Greg is an owner op with his own authority
    And he is using paper logs and is really really tired, he knows if he stops for a nap then he’ll wake up to snow and the interstate closed or if he drives another 200 miles he’ll be away from the snow and will be able to be home for Christmas .
    Does Greg drive tired?

    Greg’s done Trucking. His wife left him because he’s never home. He filed bankruptcy and now Delivers pizzas in an old mini van that doubles as his new home
