    I ain't enjoying this 30 minute BS one #### bit...something else for me to have to figure into my already overcrowded workday...

    Why does every idea they come up with have to be a delay for me, and on someone elses terms?

    Makes me so &$@#!@$&=#! mad I can't see straight....when I'm tired, I stop...I've never needed some BS rule of law to tell me that.

    Some days I'm enjoying the drive (I do still enjoy it sometimes)...and I may go all day...and be wide awake and alert the while time.

    Did the ######## that came up with these rules ever consider those people who get lazy when they stop working...I'm one of those people....I have 2 gears...stop and go, there is no in between.

    God I can't stand stupid people with powerful jobs...especially those who really have no clue what the hell they are talking about...like that Ferro ##### for example.

    Ok...had to get that off my chest...I liked the HOS the way they were, they fit me better than the new ones.

    That is truly my B**** as well. Someone else's terms screwing up something that has a proven record of reducing crashes. Yet they ignored that data to implement this pile of crap to add control & increase revenue to the Feds. Has nothing to do with safety.

    There is a better way to implement a mandatory driving break....

    It should be two 15 minute breaks anytime during the day (can be taken all at once in a 30 minute break too)...and it should be optional, but if you choose not to take the breaks, then you can't drive after 10.5 hours.

    That would be much easier to work with, would fit most any schedule (even concrete), and would leave a driver some flexibility to properly plan his/her work and work their plan...<<< and that right there will do more to make the roads safer than ANYTHING else...proper planning makes everything better....when its YOUR plan, based on YOUR schedule.

    Hell, it'd be a win for everybody...even the people that wanted the driving time knocked back to 10 hours.

    But I guess that makes too much sense for anybody to understand.

    Just another example of paying 10% of your income in order to finance someone else's attempt to screw up your life.

    Prostitution at its finest... I'm paying to get screwed, I don't have a choice in the matter, and it's as expensive as it can get... And for some reason there aren't any big fake boobs around.

    This movie sucks.
