I've seen some click bait on facebook, but that's about it, but if you think you'll make more money with this unknown new regulations, then think again. Government only ####s you

A couple of us who supported Elogs did so for this reason, we seen it coming years in advance. Elogs created a hazard because there is no flexibility in our hours of service. So myself and a few others sat down and predicted this all would happen.
Elogs made mandatory
Kicking and screaming and crying.
Increased accidents and rushing
Drivers being bullied to run illegal
Exemptions handed out.
Drop in on time deliveries.
Fmcsa investigation into cause of accidents.
HOS reform to work with ELD.Mattflat362 Thanks this. -

FMCSA officially confirms it’s proceeding with proposal for hours of service overhaul

It will never suit anyone properly.
And here I am thinking back to the 2001 and earlier version as being pretty good as far as HOS is concerned. One gets used to it. As far as the shippers and receivers plus dispatch abuses, you migrate away from that into particular companies or specific good quality freighting. And learned to move away from live loading and unloading with the associated lumper abuses etc. Appointments do not matter in reality. If they were truly important you would have been docked on arrival. Not sit around all day or night waiting for one. Etc. -
I submitted comment on the ANPRM last fall and have been following this very closely. I'm hopeful that any potential changes might actually make a little sense this time around. The one that I would personally like to see is the ability to split my sleeper like we used to be able to years ago, and get rid of the 30 min break. But only time will tell what we actually get.

Yeppers, the details are in the 4 areas listed.

Just read this when I came into work this morning. -
Just wait, you guys who have been crying about hos being horrible, when the fmcsa gets done, you'll be crying even more ... it will grow into a complex confusing mess with all the experts opinion driving it.
And all they had to do is just go back to the 1962 version that we used until 2003, it worked.loudtom, Cattleman84 and x1Heavy Thank this. -
Dino soar Thanks this.
