Message:: [QUOTE="Irmat20171, post: 11456392, member: 320115"]Thanks  for the advice.  The FMSCA actually increased it to 150 miles, however, I still have to perform a pretrip and post trip inspection and if ANYTHING is wrong with the truck, I have to complete the appropriate form.  As for HOS, I remember the "old" rule which was I could not drive after the 14th hour and then would require 10 hours off the clock, and 8 hours sleep.  Which brings up the issue of overtime.  At the first interview I was informed that if I took the job, I would have to work 40 to 60 hours per week and receive $1,000.00 net through a temp agency.  However, many weeks I worked in excess of 14 hours a day and over 70+ hours a week.  I had to complain about a needing a logbook for two months and the rental truck had no backup lights. NONE of us ever punched a timeclock and never filled out one piece of paper documenting our work times, therefore, how can the company say that they monitored HOS in relation to the FMSCA.[/QUOTE]
