{"replyTo":"","text":"I want something else, with the new split the shift basically becomes 17hr. I haul a reefer, which means wait no matter what. i want the 3hr to count without the 7hr sleeper first. Example  after 10hr i wake up drive to do a delivery ,go to the shipper for pickup up and stop my log book 8hr shift and 7 hr driving left, if the shipper hds me 3hr now I'll get 5hr shift and 5hr driving what i want is givme these 3hr so I'll have 8hr shift and 7hr driving after which to have 10hr mandatory break other than that yes it's better with the 30min break on duty and 7/3","replyToPid":0}

1023710 发表于 2020-10-12 13:55:08 I like being able to do 30 minute break while on duty not driving.  that being said, the 30 minute break should be entirely scrapped along with the 14 hour rule. it'll help eliminate some of truck parking shortage issues

","text":"Hopefully not, but it will encourage more fuel island 30’s. Idiots","replyToPid":402284}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I think lifting the hos during the storm is a great idea. It allows us to get our job done more efficiently and effectively. Many times the hos makes you drive when you're tired and stop when you're wide awake. Everyone's body isn't the same as to when it needs rest and for how long. The flexibility of the split sleeper works well when all you need are 4-6 hours of sleep instead of 10. Delivery windows, with break downs, bathroom breaks, weather and traffic can be very tight and the decreasing rates along with rising cost make earning a living very difficult if you're only able to get in one or two loads a week. I say, get rid of the 14 hour rule, and use the split sleeper berth. This way a trucker can get the rest reach individual requires, keep a flexible drive/home time schedule, make the necessary adjustments when necessary on the road and still keep his appointments. This will allow him to earn a living with less stress and fatigue resulting in less speeding ( trying to beat the clock) and crashes ( because he has to drive per the hos even though he's tired).","replyToPid":0}
