Good stuff.

That is correct, but it does not matter. FMCSA is not regulating for safeties sake, they are regulating to control. Van operations are not controlled enough, yet, they will be. I don't like it, it's wrong, but that is what is going on now. They don't need a reason and IF they can't find a way...

When have YOU ever put your life on the line for anything? I have, more than once, go lecture the do nothings and slackers.

Just out to cause trouble again, eh? This is now nonsensical. It's hard to tell right now if you are a pot stirrer or a pot licker. This is a serious issue, try to treat it as such.

Don't include me in that. I have done all I know how to do. I live in Michigan, the UAW controls our politics. I have not voted for ANYONE that is now in office, EXCEPT the guy who is my congressman now. I am no longer in Dingleberrys district. I will post his response on this issue, if get one...

Let it happen? How? The regulatory agencies are now in control. Congress no longer oversees them or makes ANY attempt to control them. Even now, with a FEW congressmen talking, NOTHING is being done. Other than OODIA or the congress, we have NO voice or control. That IS how a blooming...

Everyone knows that peanuts are good for one's health. They are a good source of protein and are high in heart healthy fats. Everyone should be required to eat them. It makes no difference if you are allergic to them. Regulations have to make sense. There is no safety reason for the 1/2 break...

The sleep apnea thing is going to be ANOTHER boondogle. More junk science.

Not all will be able to adapt. My body is what it is. At age 62 I doubt that a life long way of reacting is going to change just because Miss Annie says it has too. If Caffee's can adapt, or even enjoy it, more power to them. All I know is that it has already forced me to drive when I should...

Let's get on thing straight. I am NOT trying to trash TeamCaffee. These regulations may well work well for them. That in NO way means that it will for our business. To assume that it works for one and therefor MUST work for all does not work. These regulations WILL cause us to lose money and...

I am not looked at the negative side, I am looking at the reality of how this IS affecting our business. Will it work for many? OF COURSE it will. Will it HURT many? OF COURSE it will. It was ALWAYS legal to stop and take a break, who every stopped us? There would be no more loss of time...

OVM, regulations SHOULD be based on SOUND science, not junk science. It may be getting time for a change. I cannot afford to continue to lose money due to bogus regulations. I can't WAIT to hear the song you sing when they come after you 4 wheelers, and they will, it is only a matter of time...

I am happy this works for you. As with EVERY cookie cutter regulation it will NEVER be good for everyone and harmful to many. Keep in mind, anyone could have taken that 1/2 break, by choice, when ever they wanted. Now it is LAW, forced. That is NEVER good. We lost money on our first load under...

Governments are the same every where. They all just plain old suck.

Great question, I have not heard. It won't make any difference though, our electric nanny runs our lives the same in Canada as it does in the US.

No matter how you do it, it is 30 minutes, or more lost, per run. More wasted fuel. The fueling/break ONLY works if there are spots to park, not a given by any means.

Has any one in here ever managed to get that 82 hours? I don't think it is very common. That is just their excuse. Safety is NOT what they are after. Making harder for independents to survive is. Fewer independents, more Teamsters.

The fact that this was going to take place has been known for a very long time. No valid excuse to not be ready for it. I suspect that the carriers were HOPING that the courts would stop this, we all know how hoping for change works in real life.

Here is the result of the FIRST FORCED break. We did find a place to park. We did combine BOTH mandatory stops with fuel stops. It took me about two hours driving AFTER the FORCED stop to wake up, it was horrible. In DC traffic during that time. Thanks to the TWO FORCED stops, and the DC...

Delivered near Toronto this morning. Pick up here tomorrow heading for PA.
