Driving over 11 hours?

You were questioning the validity of my statement about the egregious violations. Now seems like you are trying to twist it into something else? Who said drivers couldn't or wouldn't be fined for being in egregious violation?

You do this a lot in your posts, find a little word to twist the whole meaning around. I guess the only thing left is to say thank you for agreeing with me.

 

your post I was responding to you said a violation is a violation whether 5 minutes or 5 hours, I was showing you that there are more stringent violations called Egregious Violations. you now twist it like I don't know the driver would still be put out of service? Is it too hard to admit you never heard of Egregious Violations before today?

 

Somebody needs a Snickers.

 

D'oh! That's what I get for multi-tasking.

You're right, my post could have benefited from a bit of clarity. Although I did say the driver can't bust the 16 hour, I also meant to add the other limits too and didn't clarify that the maximums I posted for the Day 1 and 2 summaries were not contiguous.

 

As long as we don't have to watch him eat it.

 

Good point, but truck drivers operate on public roads with texting teenagers, soccer moms, and car commercial Walter Mittys. I'd rather have the Feds monitor my time than monitor my brain. They will eventually monitor your level of alertness if we keep whining about logs.

 

I wholeheartedly agree. However my post was about those rare times when no matter what you do that clock has expired.

 

Good job re-directing, I score that Level 9000

 

DING! 11hours you are QUITTING TIME. Stop that thing right there in the highway or road wherever it is. Jump into the sleeper and hope you don't get burned out by hordes of impatient drivers.
