While I certainly agree with the overall assessment of your thoughts there is indeed a pesky section. 395.8(1) in the FMCSR. "Every driver that operates a commercial motor vehicle shall record his/her duty status, in duplicate, for each 24 hour period......"

Since we're getting very far afield here, anyone remember the song wolf creek pass? And if you do, do you know what he's talking about when he's says they're sucking toothpicks?

The guys I've talked to used an equine stimulant. Most of them are gone now. When I was a young a boy I didn't know it wasn't normal for people to stay awake for four five days straight. Prederegulation trucking was a very different animal.

Well got the best load out of Henderson in my opinion. Deliver anytime by Sunday in Blaine, WA. Must be getting soft as I think I am going to take a couple of extra days off to recoup here at the house and roll out on Friday for an easy three day trip if the weather is cooperating anyways.
