Hos. Rules?

[Magard]

Well are we gonna see the proposal tomorrow. From fmcsa. I’m looking forward to see what the split sleeper berth rule is. And if it’s actually viable.

[Evotrucker]

so.... they ether want to take out the 30 minute break and/or change the 34 hr restart regulations.

[Magard]

Splitting up the 10 hr. Break is what most people seem to be wanting. Do know what there gonna do there.

[Evotrucker]

hmmmmm interesting..... i didnt see anything about that but that would be nice.

so the majority is going for a 10 hr split? after 11 hr driving?

[Magard]

They have never said what there actually gonna do. I don’t think they are gonna let you short break after a 11 driving but that’s what I want. Probably gonna be a expanded version of the 8 and 2 split we have now. Hopefully we find out what there thinking tomorrow and if it sucks than we have a comment period to bitch.

I had a dedicated lane from mo to atlanta, you can get there with lil to no problems. Even with the rush hour traffic, just as long as you didnt hit traffic or back ups all day long lol.

If that were the case.... man then that would save a lot of drivers the rush and possibly have less traffic accidents.
