    This is not a HOS violation. The driver is operating a combination vehicle. It is a John Deere tractor pulling a trailer. this clearly gives him a HOS exemption under the Agricultural Operations. He is within the 150 air-miles of the farm. (see 395.1k and 395.2)

    Bobbie, I think you nailed it, and it doesn't look like he's going to break the 150 mile barrier any time soon.

    Let's just hope he's getting paid for the miles.

    He's not really sleeping, he works for a company that pays actual miles and is just racking up a few extra.

    6 deleted posts and a moderator warning???? Over this post? I wonder what I missed...

    Probably safer just to talk about politics or maybe religion... Heck, a dog on a skateboard may just shut down the whole forum.

    Maybe we all need nap time? lol.


    EDIT
    ^Just read my post^ and it kind of sounds like I was riding the moderators for being heavy handed, and this wan't at all the case. I was actually poking fun at us posters, and expressing disbelief that we would even need moderating on an innocent post such as this.

    The reason was for bickering, you didn't miss anything worth seeing.

    Not bickering, just having some fun. Maybe this should've been posted in the joke section.

    Instead of panicking to save little driver a possible scraped knee, these parents thought it was funny and grabbed the camera. Love it!

    Thumbs up to the parents for not being overprotective.

    Fun video Lepton - thanks for sharing.
