HOS Rules Since 2004

OK, as many of you know I am getting ready to go back to trucking after a long absence. How much have the HOS rules changes since 2004? It just occurred to me. I was rolling in Michigan on 01/01/2004 at 12:01 AM and I forget how I handled the logbook that night. The preceding sentence is irrelevant. THnak you.

 

Can you still split sleeper time?? Even using elogs you have to plan your trips to be compliant.

 

I am going to start with Swift in September. Yeah, I know, Swift! It is the best I could do after being off the road for 11 years.

 

The part abut New Years eve 2004 was not applicable to the question. I was just commenting that I was drivng that night when the changes took place then.

 

Yes, but it is something that neither side openly talks about. Both sides know anyway. I hear so much bad about them and I remember seeing their trailers dropped in ditches, etc. back when I was driving in '03 & '04. I just hope they will give me enough miles while I am there paying the dues to re-enter trucking.
