No one was supporting, what some call, vigilante justice. I would LOVE to see the "rap sheets" on these duds. I would be willing to bet it is longer than Obama's nose. We arrest and let go, arrest and let go, they continue to escalate until it comes to this. It is FAR too late now. There also...

I would have LOVED to hear the "reason" behind what those police officers were doing, BUT, it is hard to imagine any problem that would have led to this. Maybe the charity could find a better place to do this? Assuming it was a traffic problem of some sort. It would be interesting to hear a...

As these sorts of crimes continue to increase, and they will, and the "justice system" continues to prove that it is totally incapable of stopping it, things will get done. Sooner or latter even the "hand wringers" will get fed up with it. Government had better wake up. The time for blaming...

GREAT IDEA! Staring with 100% of all elected cull dogs in the country.

Back in service at the house. We are the only "D" unit of any kind in Toledo. Can't wait for the deluge of junk runs to start.

Nope, I have trouble walking. Then again, I have no need to run 332 feet per second.

Nope, I have trouble walking.

I THINK we were all talking about the same thing, in different ways.

IF I was on duty for 8 hours I would be required to take the 30 minute break prior to driving. I would have NO time showing on the "8 hour" line on the Clink. The ONLY way to reset that line is to go off duty for 30 minutes and log it as a break.

I am lost here, I don't understand what you mean.

Now how could I post as the "ATeam", AND, Layoutshooter when we are only allowed one screen name? :confused::confused:

First off, my name is not Phil. Second, you can stop with the "baiting". It no longer works. Third, I hardly need your help.

A lot depends on your carrier, type of truck, equipment on the truck and the time of year. We often get VERY good loads out of Florida.

I guess how rare it is only depends on your operation. We have seen LOTS of "on duty" time click off that clock. Sitting at shippers waiting on freight is common.

You can take it any time within the 8 hour window. We TRY not to take it until there is LESS than 2 hours showing on the clock. Otherwise it is possible to run into a situation where a second 30 minute break will need to be taken.

I don't believe that is correct. I can be on duty, never drive, and STILL have to take that half hour break. I have set, on duty, for 3 hours and only have 5 hours left showing on my "break clock".

I am not sure what you mean by the 30 minutes is taken AFTER 8 hours of drive time. The rule is NOT only based on drive time but total hours worked and the break must be taken PRIOR to the 8 hour clock expiring. We start getting warnings 1 hour, at the 7 hour mark. Once you have surpassed 8...

What leads you to believe that there is SO much undiagnosed, paranoid, mentally ill people out there? I find it odd that you bring it up so much. Please explain so I can understand. :confused:

We, as a nation, have been making excuses for criminal activity and/or evil actions for a VERY long time. We tend to want to take the blame off of those who commit these acts and place it on "society" as a whole. That is WHY we are seeing such increases in these kinds of crimes. I don't know...

One also has to take into account the hours involved in long dead heads, made all more important with the changes in the HOS.
