I dont see a multi million dollar law suit coming from moving a vehicle under 20 mph on private property... But I do see what you're getting at. The FMCSA needs to go through the regs and clean out all the contradictions... They need to pick either have thier cake, OR Eat thier cake... They shouldnt be able to have both.

After all the Werner suit was basically that. Most of the arguments I read was how Werner has poor training. Not who was at fault in that specific case, but that Werner basically didn't hire million mile accident free drivers.
Heck, I'd be happy if they would simply clean up the guidance. There's still one talking about requiring 8 hours in the sleeper (not for a split).gentleroger and Cattleman84 Thank this. -
- ops sent a driver a message to call in the morning
- Driver completed a 10 hour break and called in, had a short converstation about appointment times , then waited 10 minutes for ops to call him back with an answer. Then waits an hour to start his pretrip.
- Driver gets into a fender bender with a pov. I don't remember the details but it was "both y'all are Grade A morons " situation.
- POV sues and wins because our driver was "fatigued " and "in violation of the HOS" because of the phone calls with ops.
And as Zvar said - this isn't settled, black letter law. Depending on how you read the regulations an argument can be made that scaling and adjusting your tandems should be logged on the drive line.ZVar Thanks this. -

The rules are ambiguous, their implementation is haphazard, and enforcement is all over the place. -
