    So how long are we going to get daily threads about how much the HOS sucks? 1-2 more months? It sucks, we know, time to move on. We all know it's not changing.

    a tool huh lol

    An instructor I had gave me an idea, he said keep a baseball bat in the truck and if an officer sees it and says something tell them you got it for your child when you get home

    I still don't know how we surived when there was no 34 hour reset, only 10 hours driving and 8 hour breaks. Grow up and live with the rules or get out.

    Those where the good old days. I remember back when the 34 hour started, and newbies where coming out of school thinking that they had to take one every week. Did not know about working off the recap.
