Probably not a bad rule "in general." But, one thing "I" have learned is that Officials are only "average" people, and therefore..... will get you KILLED evey time! :lol:

I have been in around around the road for a couple years now and I get conflicting information all the time. One guy will tell you one thing and another will tell you another thing.

This happens right here on Trucker Central on occaision!! Luckily, there are a few of us who will set them straight, and will NOT lead you astray! The REV, as he is so quick to tell you, is "seldom" wrong. When he IS.... Rawlco and I are here to correct him! :lol: :lol:

AND the majority of them out there! MOST of them learned from the SAME "coolie" carriers who don't have time, nor CARE, to get it right! :roll:

We cross an international border every day and they seem to think we can get by under the 100 or 150 mile exemption for HOS.

This is NOT something you want to screw up on!

They say there is no need to note when you stopped at the border for anything also.
I was always getting crap from some of them because I was out of hours on friday and needed to wait till sunday before I could go back to work when they say it is impossible to run out of hours.
The FMCSA site is not very well thought out when it comes to things like this and split berth examples.

THAT is why this site is HERE! The THREE best interpreters of the FMCSA rules.... AND the Rev..... are HERE to help you! :wink:

Oh Lord!! But, IF you insist..... will you NOW believe what some of us say?? Or do we have to compete with the misinformation you might receive when you call your buddies at the FMCSA, ask a high school graduated Trooper on the road, or take your advice from a fellow trucker at a company you have PROVEN doesn't understand the regs? :roll:
Just hang with US, Rat..... and you'll be okay! Don't be so harsh with the Rev! He means well.... and USUALLY is right! When he's NOT..... I'm here to keep him straight! :lol: :lol: :lol:
