I don't think they are trying to HIDE it. I think they are trying to "fight" it. PLEASE give me more details on your start/stop times for the first part of the week. If you start on Tuesday ?morning? and work three 14 hour days, you would still have 28 hours left to pull two more shifts on Sat and Sun. That's 5 - 14 hour shifts. I know this doesn't match your schedule, which is why I ASKED for for more details.
You're an O/O aren't you? So... YOU are the company and dispatcher I've been talking about? Again... I defer to the obvious experience y'all have in your specific niches as truckers. I am just trying to LEARN how these regs could affect the MANY individual situations that different truckers and companies might encounter.
It's like a puzzle that I want to solve. I'm not real good at puzzles, but... I'm good with numbers and regs. Since I've driven team MOST of my career, MOST of these regs and restrictions have never affected me. But, I have driven SOLO a few times, and so I HAVE had to deal with some of the problems (without the benefit of the practice most of y'all get every day!)
Please help me by treating me like an idiot! :lol: That shouldn't be too hard for SOME of you.
Seriously... if you can't formulate your objections HERE... on CAD... and pass MY test, you will never be able to influence the FMCSA with your "valid" concerns. And if you don't do THAT... things will never change in your favor. You will have to LIVE with the rules they pass.... and just continue to complain and blame Obama! :lol:
I really DO want to KNOW.
