The new restart rule actually caused me to drive more instead of its intention

yes, its disquised as a qualcomm.

Because I liked where I was and would have stopped at that point if the rules didn't change.

 

I bet new realistic rules would be:

1. A set day time to drive like 7AM to 5PM (rush hour times). Not allowed to drive at all outside of those hours.
2. 62 or less mph govern for all trucks
3. Daily or weekly log checks by DOT officer which has to be logged.
4. Max 10 hours of drive time
5. Cam pointed at driver the same way they do with bus drivers and train conductors.
6. Driver cannot stay otr for more than two weeks at a time.

 

That's my point. The government is so stupid they would have us drive during rush hours so we would be stuck in traffic. Though I agree even if they suggested non driving during those hours would be just as bad.

 

The weird thing about the government is that they make a change that is a complete failure and won't change it back.
