I think the problem is all the technology including Automated trans. The new driver is only holding the steering wheel and becomes drowsy from not using gross motor skills such as shifting, checking mirrors etc and they're falsely led to believe the technology will keep them safe. As for HOS, theres no flexibility and there needs to be. I was 20 minutes from home and had to shut down and do a 10 hour break so i could make it home to go on Vacation for a week. And to boot I had to stop at 1930 at that.
