HOS Amendment?

The major difference is pilots don't live in the planes.....
That sleeper is my home.....when I'm running.....
You wouldn't screw with a man's house...why would you screw with a man's sleeper?

 

Simple idea here, not sure it would ever happen tho, the FMSCA needs to step in on this and start cracking down on shippers and receivers, to make sure they can get trucks and drivers in and out in a allowable manner, but yes you all think i am blowing smoke here, oh well, thats what needs to happen so that this will be taken care of. If they think so much about rules and regs, then this needs to be included, shippers and receivers alike, no exceptions. anyway thats my 2 cents.

 

Again, messing with the poor girls honoring the "oldest profession", well I guess some guys too!

The girls gotta make a living...besides, I wonder how long before Obam-bam starts taxing our lot lizards...would that make it a "deductable road expense"?

 

The FMCSA is not designed, nor will it ever be designed, to control consignors, nor consignees with the exception of hazardous materials loading and unloading remembering that storage is controlled by OSHA. That is the responsibility of the carriers. If every carrier were to uniformly start charging $200.00 an hour detention for every hour over "X" hours I would almost guarantee speedy process. But the problem here is that all too many carriers are so concerned with themselves that there could never be a uniform policy.

Wal Mart filed a federal lawsuit against the FMCSA when the rules were originally changed in what, 2002 or 3? It claimed that the then proposed HOS regs would guarantee late delivery of their own freight and cost them tons of money. Memory serve, the complaint was dismissed because in essence the court essentially said that if Wal Mart were more effecient the goods would not be late. At that time Wal Mart was taking an excessive amount of time to get their own trailers loaded thus causing their own inefficiency. This caused Wal Mart to supposedly rectify their own problems

 

Why live in fear of the "GREAT WHAT-IF?"
Can you live one day without fearing something ?
Personally Ive made it a Lifestyle since I was about 19.

It has nothing to do with being "bullet-proof" or believing I can whip the world.

Its about "confidence" and "Self Control",at your age you should have long since learned this.

The only Amendments this world needs are personal and should be handled as such.

 

That's what I was attempting to say without being offensive to some .90 per mile carriers.

 

no bol time stamps, I match my tolls, or avoid the toll roads.

Only was I get screwed is if I were to kill someone and they pull cell phone records.
