Yes.

 

I look forward to the removal of that broad ag loophole. Recent bullhaulers and milk tanker roll overs have them looking at it hard.

 

You’re fooling yourself if you think it will ever happen. Too much money behind it, and even if it goes away on the federal level it will just go back to state by state like it was before MAP21.

 

And then you'll be complaining about how much more your food costs, and yes it will go up you're dumber than me if you think otherwise and that's saying something.

 

Hardly a snowflake, but whatever... carry on.

 

Horse crap. Everything being done now, could be done legally. People are just to lazy and stupid to do it.

Got out of ag years ago. No money in it when folks will work for free (relatively) hauling heavy, working around 395, using that "get er done" excuse for leaving the industry around ag stagnated as it has been since the early 90's.

Oh I know one of you people is going to come bragging about how rich you are........yeha right. Still have buddies running down south. Rates still below what even dry van OTR is when you figure legal loads. And idiots keep patting themselves on the back how they got an extra to on the wagon and dodged the scale.

Goofy ####s have no clue they are robbing themselves.

 

I have a separate entity that does all the work on my truck. So whether I’m home or out on the road, I clock out from trucking and sign my name on a service order from _____ Truck Repair. Nothing prevents you from having a second job that isn’t subject to the HOS.

 

Right I know bullhaulers doing 5000 miles a week during the cattle run, they're going to charge more you cut 2000 miles off what they can run in a week. To put some numbers to it he charges about 5 to 6 bucks a loaded mile, at 1000 miles we'll call it 5grand a week you're taking from them. If you're talking pulling hoppers, yes that could be done perfectly legal and boring too.

 

If it makes a big jump it will be artificial and the hos will be used as an excuse for the meat packers to make more profit. Transportation costs are a very small percentage of the retail price.

 

If you’re compensated then you are subject to hos. But I get what you’re saying.
