Elogs and Fema loads with hos suspension

Good question

 

You don't. It's not safe you will be a zombie at the end of your 11/14. It's so unsafe to break the hos rules I don't know why they let drivers do it. The interstate will be littered with crashed trucks.

 

Many of those poor drivers are going to sit for so long in staging areas, I doubt many will ever come close to violating normal HOS rules. The refuse and pole haulers and others will be a different matter.

 

Lol you, sir, have no idea what's going on in the real world out there, especially 1099 world

 

Yea the ford arena in bmt has turned into a truck stop. I talked to one guy and he said he was there for six days.

 

Read this. I only posted part.

Emergency Declarations, Waivers, Exemptions and Permits

Emergency Declarations, Waivers, Exemptions and Permits
Overview
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is coordinating with the following states that have Declared Emergency Declarations. We recommend you check each State's Web site and search for "Issued Emergency Declarations" if you are interested in more details. For those carriers or drivers interested in providing services or who need to understand FMCSA regulations, the following applies.

• Federal Emergency Declarations by FMCSA Service Centers
• State Emergency Declarations by State

Emergency Declaration Information
To provide vital supplies and transportation services to a disaster area in the United States, emergency declarations may be issued by the President, Governors of States, or FMCSA. These declarations trigger the temporary suspension of certain Federal safety regulations, including Hours of Service, for motor carriers and drivers engaged in specific aspects of the emergency relief effort. See 49 CFR 390.23 for the actual emergency regulation.

Relief from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations is limited to a maximum of 30 days, unless extended by FMCSA itself.

The information below reflects currently available relief:

1. Drivers responding to provide "direct assistance" to an "emergency" meeting the definitions in 49 CFR 390.5 and declared by FMCSA or a governor, are exempt from applicable regulations in all States on their route to the emergency , even though those States may not be involved in the emergency or stated in the declaration of emergency.
2. These exemptions, when in effect, only apply to 49 CFR Parts 390-399. They do NOT exempt drivers/carriers from the requirements relating to CDL, drug/alcohol, hazardous materials, size & weight, or State/Federal registration and tax requirements. (However, a Governor's Declaration may add some of those exemptions - read the declaration for details.)
3. Even if an Emergency Declaration is still in effect, the emergency must be on-going and you must be providing direct emergency assistance in order to be exempt from safety regulations.
4. The list of Emergency Declarations below may not be complete. Declarations may be in effect even if not listed here. Read the declaration itself for all details.
5. There is no requirement to carry a copy of the declaration in the vehicle unless stated so in the declaration itself.
6. Drivers and carriers should coordinate with State emergency officials before providing assistance. State regulations regarding size and weight, permits, taxes, etc. may not have been waived.
7. Even though safety regulations may be suspended, drivers and carriers are expected to use good judgment and not operate vehicles with fatigued or ill drivers, or under any conditions presenting a clear hazard to other motorists using the highways.

 

I guess but I don't want any part of that action, regardless

Just another day in trucking. Hurry up to get there and wait in a series of lines. But I bet once you get backed up to a dock somewhere, you're unloaded fast ... or I may be wrong if those operations are ran by various clueless temporary bosses, answering to upper beaurocacy.
