Why CSA 2010 and E-Logs are a good thing.

It hooks around your ankle and runs off of your movements. Going to be hell when you're all day in wide open country you'll need some good toe tapping music, shouldn't be a problem in the big cities since you'll be double clutching every 6 seconds.

 

At what level? Are you SURE you want to go there?

 

You have no right to disregard regulations that run the industry...

 

Regulations that run the industry are supposed to be based upon things that are directly related to the industry, not playing politics with the lives and livelihood of honest working men

We are not criminals, we are free men trying to take care of our families. To criminalize a man because he slept only 8hrs instead of 10 is beyond ridiculous. I would like to know what scientific study proved that 10hrs of sitting was much more safer than 8hrs or even 6hrs. (we are talking minimum required, so that if i want more, i can get more, but they should function on that basis and not some arbitrary 10hrs)

is 9.5 hours so much different that i am a danger if i sleep 9.5 hours?

and proof of how illogical the law is, i was thinking of two very clear examples

in Ohio in 2008, if ten trucks drove thru i71 at 65mph, they would have been given speeding tickets of 10mph over the speed limit. fines and points against their license and their insurance would have increased because they were deemed, unsafe drivers

but in 2009, without any changes to the highway, no changes to the trucks, no changes or additional training for the drivers, those same trucks could drive the same 65mph and they would no longer be deemed unsafe. Why? What as the unsafe criteria in 2008 that changed in 2009?

in Arizona, i40 going westbound the speed limit thru the desert is 75mph, and considered safe, however, after crossing over the colorado river, that same terrain, same road surface, same everything, that same driver driving at 75mph can be carted off to jail for reckless driving. Why?

neither one of these examples are based upon safety, but merely "the law", but if you are saying that compliance to the law is akin to safety, then why the discrepancy? nothing other than someone in a statehouse voted this or that, and having absolutely nothing to do with safety

i remember reading that the head cop in Ohio warning the public that trucks doing 65mph would result in dead bodies strewn all over the buckeye, and that was not only wrong, but actually less accidents

so if the people who make these laws are not basing their laws on safety, why are we enforcing this lie upon each other?

 

Can you tell me where I said anything about a right to disregard regulations in this statement?

If you think every driver needs to bend over then I think its time you bow out of the profession.

Where again?????

 

Well and someone needs to take your right to bend over away from an industry that obviously already has enough of them...

 

What are you doing FozzyNok? Must be sittin in your company truck givin that boss of yours some more unpaid free "work". I sure am glad you like working for free but I sure don't so I am sittin at the house enjoyin my down time. Better get that 10 hours of sleeper berth time and stop playin on here. You don't want to disregard the regulations you like so much...

 

LOL!!! I don't have THAT much time... That much copying and pasting would take days.

 

at what point do we say, enough is enough?

 

Okay I don't want you to work to hard now so I will give it to you again...
