Well.... they HAVE reworded their website recently, but I don't THINK so!!!
And, of course, if it WAS.... then you'd have to agree with it en toto, right??

I've READ all the regs concerning HOS and split sleeper options, and there are many phrases in here that the FMCSA just DIDN'T use. Not that THEY were any more CLEAR..... but, they made DIFFERENT mistakes in composition.

[How's THAT, Wildk9???]

Besides, they don't USE this combination of numbering and bullets.

Perhaps, you could quote me the reg, Rev Horse's ..... I mean Vassago?? :lol: :lol: A LINK would be nice! I'd like to SEE this on their website before I believe it was a total cut n paste.

Besides.... when has DAWN ever cut n pasted ANYTHING directly from the regs??? :lol:

NO..... I think this was a pretty GOOD, though "human" job of interpreting the regs. The FMCSA AND Dawn could learn a few things from this guy.

I KNOW I've seen that login before! How 'bout it Useless??? (he doesn't even lurk here!) Someone refresh my memory on this poster. I'm too lazy to do the research! :lol:

Seriously.... WAVP375: I didn't mean to criticize you! I could tell that YOU understood the regs..... you just fell into some of the same traps the fmcsa has!

I would recommend YOUR explanation to newbies ALMOST any day of the week! Maybe not on Thursdays! :lol:

 

Had you guys and gals taken the time to read this post you would have seen the source. I came from On Hours of Service (Keller's Motor Carrier Safety Report). It was on the Post subject line.

Well... I obviously DID read the POST. I don't read "post subject" lines very often, as they are the same as the title of the thread.... which ANYONE can make up as they please.

But.... Oooohhhh! You're correct. It DOES SEEM to mention a report, though I didn't take it necessarily to mean it was FROM that report.

So, the long and short of it is, we now know of ANOTHER source of not quite right information to confuse Truckers! :lol:

I guess I've learned NOT to give so much credit to the Horse! Of course.... the O.P. had a chance to clarify the source, and DIDN'T! To my remorse!! :lol:

 

I have never split my sleeper berth, and understand how to do it after reading this and other posts, but my question is how do you gain? Are you guys using that 2 hours rest time at say a lazy shipper/receiver, and then only using the 8 hours for sleeping?

Can someone show me how you can gain time using this method? You ca even PM me if youd like...

Thansk to all.
