Push for hos change

Yes, lots of thoughts on thread that was already started a few days ago.
Can't remember the name of the tread though.

 

I don't trust any politician he's going to screw it up one way or another just so he can make money on our back

 

That is still pushing the problem of shippers and receivers not honoring the appointments down the road. Almost all these loads have been done a few thousand times, if them companies can not figure out how to schedule correctly why should a driver who is forced to follow a ELD to the t be the one to take the punishment for laziness.

 

REST Bill Would Modify HOS to Allow Drivers One Three-Hour Break Per Shift

 

HOS 2003 edition. Nothing new.

 

Thoughts?

Get rid of the 8 hour clock and let us choose when to take the 30 minute break before running out the 11 hour clock.

Freeze the 14 hour clock after 10 minutes of the truck not moving. Restart the clocks from where they were when we stopped.

If we complete a 10 hr break, reset all clocks.

No one knows if we're actually sleeping while in sleeper berth so why penalize those of us who actually are because they're trying to penalize those who are actually unloading/loading their trucks?
