<p>[QUOTE="DownDRoad, post: 11603322, member: 323960"]Personally I think you should be allowed to have 3 drivers for a few days. 2 sit up front and 1 sleep for 7 hrs. The politics of regulation sometimes interfere with common sense. The current system makes a team driver have to drive for 9 1/2 hours if you want to keep it moving. Which is exhausting sometimes and more then the 8 hr shift so many others are fighting to be limited to on their jobs. I’m not saying don’t keep to the laws. You should endeavor to do so. Think more needs to be done for drivers and also to keep those drivers and others who have accidents or other motives then more rounded safety measures would constitute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
