Rule change proposal

{"text":"The 14hr day with 10hr driving 8hr split break was the best. Use the same rule with the ELD. All they are doing is bouncing around the problem. The original rule worked just fine but was easy to cheat with paper. Compliance and safety would be achieved by simply reinstating the same rule with ELD. I realize the people making the rules have never held a CDL or driven or tried to sit in an idle truck for 10 hrs waiting to be able to move but as a driver I get more tired from waiting to drive somewhere than actually driving. Safety declined in the trucking industry when the face of the driver changed, NO not a racist so don’t take that the wrong way, our industry has been flooded with untrained drivers of all races and ethnic groups that are being pushed beyond their ability and exploited due to ethnic background ..inadequate training, low wages  push these new faces beyond their ability to be safe. And finally .. if your working by the clock then get paid by the clock, drivers should be hourly paid if we are regulated by time. Ok I’ll give you .xx cents per mile and this 65mph truck along with the ELD that’s gonna limit your ability to make a living even more..what experienced driver is gonna take that?  Here’s the new face of driver I was speaking of... be safe ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
