462372 发表于 2020-01-09 17:06:29 exactly, keeping accurate count of hours you drive is great, ensures a fair playing field so people aren't easily able to cheat to win, and gives a good representation of your driving conditions when and if you crash. someone driving a truck for 13 hours crashes, probably point to driver fatigue. this information is especially useful for prosecuting negligent homicide collisions.\n\nhow many hours can you consecutively drive safely is up for debate and should be further studied now that we have accurate HOS recording. Everyone's complaint is with the restrictions on HOS, which has been unchanged for a century, people are not able to cheat anymore. shouldn't have to cheat to succeed.\n\nhaving a clear discussion on the problem is the way to come up with a solution, not confusing convoluted arguments.

","text":"Exactly but my issue with HOS is the people that are putting these rules for us have never been in a truck before. You can not set up rules for something you have no idea what it’s like to be. Hold on I’m gonna start a whole new post on this discussion. ","replyToPid":301242}

The same way you know if something tastes good, you don't have to be a world-class chef. You do not have to be a truck driver to know the science behind sleep and driver fatigue.","replyToPid":301299}

","text":"I agree but would you tell someone not to eat a hamburger because your allergic to it? It’s the same sense with this issue. Better to get the overall trucking active drivers and previous ones with over 10 years of experience and get feed back to ensure proper rules are set I place to improve the industry as a whole. Not just a one sided rule that benefits the company side and hurts the drivers side. Needs to be more discussion on these issues. ","replyToPid":301464}

","text":"your analogy is illogical. not everyone has an allergy, everyone gets fatigue and has to sleep. how much sleep is debatable, hence they are taking your comments. but data doesn't lie.","replyToPid":301467}

If I can't make it on time by doing the speed limit and driving safely, load planners/dispatch should have scheduled appointments with a bigger window. They are able to see my logs on their end and can tell if I have been driving or procrastinating.

518050 发表于 2020-01-09 16:32:27 FenderFox, I agree. We need to band as truck drivers and get a petition going. Go thru the rite Chanels and process evidence and testimonies from the senior seasoned truck drivers along with statistical analysis data from major insurance companies and submit it to congress. Only then can we as truck drivers get our voices heard.
