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

Until the batteries ran down. Even then, they would provide spares.

Want to see it stop? Lobby your congressman for hourly wages for drivers. ALL drivers.

 

HOS rules have always worked against me. I can't think of one time where I said to myself, "thank god I'm out of hours... I'm too tired to drive any longer."

So I don't buy into the notion that HOS rules are in place to protect me from some overbearing company. --YMMV

 

That's cool, you don't need to buy my notions. I'll keep handing them out for free.

 

Yeah, And I was just pullin your chain on that first post 'cause it sounded to me that you wanted it both ways.

I've just seen regulation after regulation get piled on, and from where I'm sitting things are only getting worse.

 

Instead of enforcing current laws/regulations, they just keep adding to the stack...? Is that what I'm reading here?

 

Pretty much it. SSDD

200 years of "lawmaking" tends to add up.

(#### those regulations FOR a Driver[/B])

 

Ha, I quoted that the other day. I had a driver us PC during their break and driver 100 miles closer to their consignee. The reason I was given was that they were "too sick" to stay in the rest area so they had to drive to a truck stop because they were throwing up so much they needed medication.

 

Yeah, thanks. I know 392.3

At least THAT makes sense. Much more so then dictating when I can roll, and when I can't roll based on someone elses perceived notion that I'M fatigued.

 

Just be happy i's not my perceived notion of when you're fatigued?


I probably shouldn't have even said that because I'm not sure what it means.
