I've heard when the 11 hour rule is made invalid there will be NO rule on driving hours . The 10 hour rule was made invalid with the new HOS . The court can invalidate a regulation but they can't make new regulations .

FedEx Ground is in direct competition with UPS . Even if drivers were classified as employees they would still have the truck expenses . FedEX would have less profit but should still be able to operate at a profit .

Bad . Check them out here . http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/safestat/CarrierOverview.asp?DOT=597126&WhichForm=start enter dot # 597126 . Their driver SEA is unsatisfactory which means they are probably closely watched at the scales .

It has been mentioned many times a cargo van cannot provide sufficient revenue for both a driver and fleet owner . Driving for a fleet owner is the best way to determine if the revenue and lifestyle is acceptable but it's best to have a husband/wife team . A solo running for a fleet owner for...
