    Good luck with that.

    I have posted the rules direct from the fmcsa and also from JJ Keller. I cannot force you to understand them.

    Where does it say anything about driving? It says driving is not permitted after 8 hours without a 30 min break. Sounds to me like it includes all on duty time.

    Going to be many surprised and fined drivers come July 1.

    Fines will start immediately. They instructed companies and drivers when the rules were implemented that there was plenty of time to adapt.

    No grace period.

    According to
    395.2 you can log off duty while loading. Why burn up your 70?

    Do you have cameras inside the truck and a privacy policy attached to the door?
