Status Quo To Remain With HOS, Etc...

Rules that limit daily hours truckers can drive could be relaxed

 

I’m sorry but I tuned out of that one after I read he “had” to sleep 10 hours before driving 5 more minutes to his house.

 

I think the point was that a violation is the same regardless and the inflexibility of the hos hamstrings drivers unnecessarily.
I think the old rules could be updated without any safety sacrifices that bureaucrats and those citizen committees cling to.
Let drivers split their 10 any way they need as long as it's 10 off/sleeper every 24.

 

And when they wanted comments about revising the split sleeper I believe there were less than 4K comments. So apparently the majority of drivers are fine enough with the way things currently are that they don’t feel the need to voice what they want. Unless it’s in the form of a poorly planned “protest” that makes us look like a bunch of crybabies.

 

The majority of drivers have no clue what hos was like before they took up the career.

They wouldn't have the foggiest idea what to chime in about.

 

All this HOS to be relaxed talk lately. What do they want to relax exactly? Get rid of14 hours?

 

They would like to get rid of America and all of the rules and laws etc. But I digress.

They relax nothing. You watch.

All they would have to go is go back to 1962 HOS more or less. And a economy that will support a easy 300 mile days with 12 days to California and another 12 back.

It is evident we have a new generation born here going into trucking or coming over to America (HELLO!>.. and god help you...) to do some trucking. Knowing nothing about HOS. Poor things.

 

Supposedly the hos was in play for 75 years. Something like that.

So. 2004 would be the year. Or whenever it was they screwed it up.

 

Revise the split sleeper and get rid of the 30 minute break.
