    How will the New Hours of Service Rules Provisions affect your O/O business?

    They just don't have the sensibility to get your humor? I'm sure it's not you!! I've always said it, there can never be one size fits all for HOS. And, the idea that just conforming to the rules will absolutely make a driver safe is pure folly. You got it right, you're tired when you're tired...

    How will the New Hours of Service Rules Provisions affect your O/O business?

    Truckers did just fine for decades without the 34 reset and will be just fine with this change. I already take a break, so the half hour doesn't bother me at all. It's my belief that the vast majority of expediters will see very little, if any, impact from these changes. I'm now prepared to be...

    Of course... That makes some sense.

    Implications of new 34 hour restart rule

    Why would you want it to be on duty? I don't see any upside to that. At least it's not going against your 70.

    The Driver Shortage

    I don't deal with them, but I've heard that some brokers like to ignore the expedited time frame and just keep telling you that "it's a partial!!"

    Unloading Rules

    If they had the desire to do that, they would. Since they haven't, it would appear they don't have the desire too. I used a tow strap when I was in a van. Light and durable, and worked very well on heavy skids. I don't recall the exact numbers, but i felt that the rating on the strap was plenty...

    not all doom and gloom....:)

    Well, the good news is that after the 2 days you wouldn't need the full 34, just one more day off and get 14 back in the recap. Yeah... I know... But, at least it's something. Be aware that in addition to the DOT, we also have the spelling police. Your misspelling of the word "theory" has...

    windows on van

    I'm just not seeing anything wrong with using a window van. If the freight can be properly secured, then it's all good. I know somebody that's used only window vans for close to 20 years and he's never had an issue with a customer or his carrier. Put some curtains on the windows and it's all good.
