    Since the gov. is going to cut our hours, when do the subsidies kick in to make up the money we're losing?

    Would really like to see all clocks on QC while driving. This way you would know wather to find a place to stop for 10 hours or half an hour. Just my first gripe.

    Anyone know the logic of having to wait 7 days between 34 hr restarts?

    Their stated reason is to prevent drivers from racking up 82 hours in a week.

    And I don't believe their stated reason in the slightest.

    If they were truly concerned about us working too much, then they would have made it a requirement that we get one day off a week, not leave it open to recaps and all of that.

    The only reason for the changes is to fool the public into believing that they are actively making the roads safer. In reality, all they're doing is making goods more expensive for the consumer, since we all know that if these new regs cost companies money, that'll get passed on down the line.

    The logic is flawed so I doubt many of us will get it.

    There should be an IQ test for anyone wanting to or currently working in the government. Any below 50 points booted out. That would thin out a bunch of them!!! Also a mandatory psyciatric evaluation. The idiots are in the process of destroying our country.

    Yeah no kidding.

    10 years ago, anytime I saw these "doomsday prepper" people I thought they were nuts for stockpiling guns, food, water, and all that.

    Now, with each passing year, they're looking just a little bit less crazy.
