What are you talking about, the HOS rule is not in the proposal stage it's a final rule the took affect last December 2011. Some of the rules took affect in feb. and the rest start in July of this year

The safety groups, OOIDA and ATA have filed suit already, because these rules are in affect now, ever since they became a final rule in Dec 2011

It seems most drivers are in denial about the new rules and seem to think that if they complain things will change. Well I'm here too tell you they won't be changing unless the courts overturn the regulation and as of right now the courts haven't given a court date yet that I've seen. Maybe...

The way I read that it only works if its class 1.1 and 1.2 and 1,3 explosives. Plus it only would be for the 1/2 hour rest break would still be on duty, not of duty. Therefore, companies would gain nothing by putting this class of explosives on their trucks Plus most companies don't allow any...

How do they do that, if we all have run under the same rules and will be running under the same rules when they take affect in July. The only way an independent or a lease driver running paper logs has a advantage is if they cheat on their logs, since everyone runs on the same 11/14

HazMat/Explosives/Biological wast/nuclear - Exemption. I just did a quick look at the new regulation and didn't see that exemption, maybe you can post where you got it from, that is if you don't mind

I normally have breakfast before I start work, during the ten hour break, therefore even if I logged it would not affect my 14 since I haven't started work yet. Nice try. If you stopped after you started your 14 clock, you would still stop at the 7 or 8th hour for your lunch break. That said...

I don't but, I keep up with the rules so when my brother asks me something about the rules I can answer it for him. Plus I can help others understand how simple the rules are. Plus I used to drive a big truck. drove over 20 years. I just keep up

Show me anything in the new rules that are hard to understand. If you run team you can now spend 2 in the right seat as off duty and 8 in sleeper. What's hard about that If your solo all time sitting and not in sleeper is off duty, where as, under old rules all the time spent on the truck...

You would only spend 2 night in a room if you want or stay in the truck one night and hotel the next. Then again I would find things to do away from the truck stop. Carry a bike go riding during the day depending on where you are. There are lots of things todo away from truck stops, you just...

Maybe so, but as of now it's will be the rule, that is unless the courts overturn the new rules.

I totally agree with your statement. Hell I could do 55 MPH and at the end of the day claim I averaged 67 MPH because I was on paper logs. Now I did quit doing that some years ago and started running s close to legal as possible. Now in the van I don't worry I drive till tired and take a 5 to...

Why would you be in a truck stop for 3 days. Myself I would get a hotel room for the weekend that has a pool and small gym to use. They are never going back to the split sleeper berth, you and others need to realize this fact and get on with your life. They will never go back to stopping...

What's so hard about taking a lunch every day... If you stop at 7 hours for an 1/2 hour you don't need to stop again. My god their making you take a break that most do now but never claim.. where's the problem

I have no clue why people cannot understand the rule its simple 1. Your 34 hour restart can only be used ONCE a week. It does't matter if you start it at 3 in the afternoon you still need two 1am to 5am no matter what. 2. Your next 34 restart can only begin at the same time you started the...

My 05 has 14 in the box on 158 inch wheel base

Well, then I'll be 6, I'll be looking for a new van by years end anyway. Will have to save this year so I can just give them cash. I just don't a payment, because I want to take time off when I want.

Because they had to retool the KC plant to make the vehicle, unlike Mercedes who have brought us a vehicle the've were building in Europe.

They are for later in 2013, Ford is testing them right now. Their also being built in KC not overseas. These vans will be U.S made.

Now I get what you mean, then again, I would be a for hire, unregulated carrier
