    Then it maybe time to take this subject up with your carrier. Get them to fully understand the new rules, from a drivers point of view. I remember when running with FedEx (in a Sprinter van) we would sit 34 everytime after a delivery, and only being able to work 12-14 hrs a day. So I do...

If running Monday thru Friday you do get the 168 hrs in, thus allowing for 1 reset a week. Dave: you would not have to sit 3 days @ truck stop. IE: you deliver...

    Cargo Van Owners opinion

    Very low oil pressure, only get up to 20psi at most. After driving new 2011 2500 extended, yes I do feel good with my van. With added income I will be able to make up the cost well within a year. Down time for this work would be less than 2 weeks, which includes ordering parts.
