It's official, FMCSA to revise HOS rules

It takes your bargaining chips off the table. You'll get some ####### office critter complaining about how you're just lazy, when they get their mandated break and lunch.

 

But we have to give the truck a break for 30 minutes! LOL

 

I don't need any bargaining chips. I am the captain of my ship.

 

I was thinking I’d like it to be 11 drive hours a day and 14 on duty per day. And that’s it. No recaps, no 30, no 70. Still need PC though.

The 11 and 14 could be 12 and 16 for all I care. I’m going to do what I need and if I’m tired or whatever I stop.

I’m a full grown adult. I know how to take a day off as well if I want. I know how to take a month off and I’ve seen me do it.

 

Well, what changes would you like to see? i think i know someone on the panel.

 

Removal of 30 minute break and removal of 14 hour clock.

 

The headline looks hopeful, but after reading the article, it seems that the DOT isn't as anxious to do much with the hours of service as they were earlier this year.
