    Enough to buy a truck, overhaul it and repaint it in a year and then buy a decent acreage in another year or two

    two thoughts.

    the fourth amendment has nothing to do with HOS.

    why do people always think that a glider is exempt, if it has an engine made in this century, it isn't.

    Why would you even buy a glider with a non 1900 engine? Kinda defeats the purpose..

    That is awfully presumptuous to assume that a company that allows older trucks automatically requires running outlaw to make any money.

    Why does the Fed think it can tell me how many hours a day/week I am allowed to operate my buisness?

    My guess would be because you’re choosing to work in a federally regulated industry?

    Because a lot of them have those engines in them. You can have some one like fitz put in a 1990 Cummings but then there is an issue of making it all work together.
    Because as long said, you choose to work in a federally regulated industry, they are the entity that has been charged with that duty by the same constitution as the fourth is in.

    Right and where do they get the right to regulate how many hours a business is operated? Exactly ain't there but go on believing they can.

    Wow, since the hours of service were implemented in the 1930’s nobody has brought up that point. Maybe you should file a lawsuit against the governing body of the industry you choose to be in.

    Also, that was sarcasm.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    Right well I believe what I do with my time is my business forgive me, but I don't believe the government has any right to tell people how long they can work but that's just me.
