I like this new rule on HOS

Finally, somebody woke up! On duty does not include ...


Change – Effective February 27, 2012

Does not include any time in a parked CMV

 In a moving CMV, does not include up to 2 hours in the passenger seat immediately before or after 8 hours in the sleeper

No more of that, "You were in the seat, you were on duty" crap.

And you can finally sit, legally, in the passenger seat while someone else drives ... such simple common sense.

And this one makes sense also ...

New Rule – Effective July 1, 2013*

May not drive after accumulating 8 hours on duty without taking at least a 30 minute break

Ya been humping freight all day .. take a break before hitting the road.
