Where in the rules for your 10 straight hour break does it say it has to be in the sleeper, it says 10 hours off duty taken either in the sleeper of a combo of off duty and sleeper berth or 10 straight off duty. The only sleeper berth requirement is if you use the 8/2 split, then 8 hours has to...

Gregg, you hit the nail on the head about EOBR'S, The reason OOIDA doesn't want them is because most of the solo driver membership would now have to stop cheating. OOIDA, seems to think that EOBR'S give a large carrier a advantage, what advantage could they get if all trucks had one. Try this...

Cheril, if your a company driver then you would have to pick the load up, since you are a employee not a contractor. being called on the phone is done even with handwritten logs. Like I said if you have a QC they know the hours you have left. Most companies have you sign in in the morning at the...

Is it a requirement for any of the companies you'll be brokering thru, if not then you won't need one.

If anyone wonders why FMCSA doesn't listen to OOIDA and does listen to ATA it all comes down to the NO to everything OOIDA, they agreed that the bad company rule for EOBR'S was a good rule at first then when they found out from some members that they would have to have a EOBR because of their...

Ya they had to change their tune on the letter sent to FMCSA's lawyers, because it seems everyone of us who read the letter seen it as saying EOBR's were now illegal. Like I have said here and on OOIDA's forum that they have made it easy for bad comPanies to keep running illegal. These...

OVM, why would a good driver stay at a company that is so bad that they were going to be required to have a EOBR? Could it be they stay because they get away with running illegal, that would be my only guess. After over 20 years and about 2.5 million safe driving miles I quit driving TT and...

OVM, how would a carrier or a O/O be hurt by having to use a EOBR? The only hurt I see is that they would have to run legal. How would a large carrier be at a advantage if independents had to use a EOBR? If people keep trying to use the we get it there faster then a carrier using a EOBR, then...

I know the junk we had before was paper logs where you could cheat to your hearts content, now that you have a EOBR a persons cheating is next to zero. Yes I know you can still cheat a little, my brother did for up to a hour a day. Nothing compared to the paper log or should I say comic book...

Looks like OOIDA writes letters leaving out facts. I have so much fun on the forum at OOIDA with all the OOIDA never does anything wrong crowd. I always love OOIDA and their flip flops, We were for the rule before we found out that some of our members were in the worst of the worst category...

Please read OOIDA's landline mag. it has all the states rules for chains.

Might come out as another Christmas surprise like last year on the proposed HOS rule.

The new HOS regulating is sitting at the OMB at the White House where they have between 30 and I think 90 days ( might be 60 ) to approve the rule as is or to tell FMCSA to make changes to the rule. Once OMB signs off on the rule the it becomes the new HOS regulation. At that point let all the...

Hey Gregg336, try 1400 a couple of times and it didn't hurt the pocket book that bad, but then again I wanted to go home. Freight got so slow I made a decision that it was cheaper to DH home then take a chance of another week of no freight because people were running for .80 or less to get out...

I asked FMCSA about the wiper fluid rule and there is no such federal rule. if you could maybe you can find out what regulation your friend broke. The rule # or law. it will be on the inspection report. Thanks

I must be getting old, because I never chain up. If I have to chain up I sit till its clear, that said I will go around storms. I don't play on Ice either, if I can help it because nothing good comes out of playing on a ice skating rink.

Can't even get a load out of Ca., vans are running freight for .80 a mile TTT. my god are they that stupid. Glad I have family here. Then again, might head home tomorrow and start all over.

Tumbleweeds, just talked tx a Texas State last week on making under 10,000 LBS log and weight and he said no way because it would tie up the system. We talked about all the plumbers, electricians and other small trucks and vans out here that would need to scale or log and that's why he said no...

turned down 3 loads because they wanted to pay cheap and to do 1k in miles nonstop, average 60MPH with out stoping for fuel or eating or a short break. What do some agents think we are airplanes. Same agent.

Sitting in Ontario Ca. T/A. Seen the A team yesterday morning for the first time since they came to LEAM, nice couple
