You get the prize for making it simple for all to understand the restart.

Bob, under the 10/8 rules we used to have once you ran out of hours on your 70 you needed to shut down for up to 3 days. Those rules were set up in a way that you only worked 70 in a week. The 11/14 and 34 hour restart made it so you could get up to a 82 hour work week, now the FMCSA decided to...

Just think, it seems no one ever takes a break during the day or night, what a bunch of bull drivers are trying to put out there.

When we had the 10/8 rule when you got to 70 to quick during the week you had to shut down for up to 3 days to get hours back. Therefore, old rules had us close to a 70 hour work week if you ran just one log book. The 34 hour restart from the last set of rules made it so you could work up to...

Was just making sure that people here didn't start the it's all Obama's fault for everything that is going on right now when it comes to the screwed up rules we live under.

CSA, Started under Bush Loss of 5/5 rule, Started under Bush Huge fines for using cell phones by hand, Started under Obama, with the same head of the DOT that Bush had in the position. HOS rules changes (specifics needed about each change). All started under Bush.. Changes now are...

Did you know that the minute any company puts a trailer behind their company vehicle that vehicle now becomes a commercial vehicle. Haven't you noticed more and more pick up trucks pulling tractors or even garden equipment being pulled over and inspected by the DOT or local cops, I have. Well...

Why do you care about the vanners, you should worry about yourself. BTW, we have to log then we would Just buy a straight truck and take your freight and also flood the D truck part of the industry and lower the rated you get now.

All anyone has to do is look up european vans and you will see more then MB makes large cargo vans. What it comes down to is that MB decided when they owned Dodge they would bring in their van even with all the hoops they had to go thru to get the van here. Things like assembling the van then...

My resonator went out on my sprinter all I did was buy the part and replace it myself. Now I have a 2005 and only needed a screwdriver to replace the part. What I'll be doing soon is buying one of those resonator eliminators and will never have the problem of the plastic part ever breaking again.

Just looked at the ford web site and it says Summer 2014 for the van what a change from fall of 2013. Must be other problems then parts. Just maybe its the eco boost engines their having a problem with. Oh well I guess I'll be buying another sprinter next year. Won't be getting a Ford like...

Nothing planned for me, I just hope I get a load next Tuesday or Wednesday Because I'll be in Orlando till the 3rd, that is unless someone offers me one hell of a paying load going long for the weekend.

I stand corrected on my earlier posts.

Okay dispatch sad sit tight, but only for dry run pay. What happens if the customer says they won't pay a TONU. Then again the customer isn't responsible for his company telling him to sit tight, that's going to between driver and company. These are just my thoughts and could be wrong.

I'm I missing something, Moot said the freight was ready, but wouldn't fit thru the doors because it could not be laid down. In that case there would be no D-time just TONU. IMO

Because there are no exceptions except for certain types of explosive loads. There is no guidance needed for this break other then what is written below from the FMCSA C. No driving if more than 8 hours since last break of 30 or more minutes The final rule requires that if more than 8...

All the companies I was at after leaving LS, take to require me to give them 7 day notice to take time off. Now I never listened to them and took time when I wanted. That one of the reasons I ended back at LS, plus the fact that I work when I want and go where I want without any problems from...

Because LS has a yard for trucks about 10 miles away near the T/A off of I95, that is where were supposed to park overnight.
