Disparity?

792671

{"text":"With all of my available cogitating time, I have been pondering a pretty vivid and seemingly senseless disparity regarding the HOS system. Perhaps someone here on TP can help me comprehend why it is arranged this way;\n\nDrivers hauling goods are required by law to take a minimum 10 hour, off-duty, break between drive shifts. Yet drivers that transport passengers are required only an 8 hour break. Does that mean that those who transport people are more immune to the fatigue, etc. that FMCSA says makes those of us who transport goods such a danger to society?\n\nJust curious. What’s your opinion, folks?","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

Note that Non-business Private Motor Carriers of Passengers are not subject to the record keeping requirements of this part, such as maintaining a logbook or record of duty status. \n\nMaximum Driving Time for Passenger – Carrying Vehicles – § 395.5 \n\nNo motor carrier of passengers shall permit or require any passenger-carrying CMV driver to drive: \n\nMore than 10 hours following 8 consecutive hours off duty, or \n\nFor any period after having been on duty 15 hours following 8 consecutive hours off duty. \n\nNo motor carrier of passengers shall permit or require any passenger-carrying CMV driver to drive, regardless of number of motor carriers using the driver’s services, for any period after the driver has been on duty: \n\n60 hours in any 7 consecutive days if the carrier does not operate CMVs every day of the week; or \n\n70 hours in any 8 consecutive days if the carrier operates CMVs every day of the week. \n\nYou're wrong....again....lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣\n\nThat's right from the FMCSA website.","replyToPid":0}

","text":"ok, I can admit when I'm wrong. But I can see why they have different HOS regulations, they do a different job. it's stop and go driving, lots of breaks, it's like fuel trucks.","replyToPid":354110}
