You could always go become a nurse, doctor or ambulance driver if you dislike the rules.. There are many scientific studies that have been done and the fact is that there is no load worth anyone's life AND we live in a world of lawyers. The original rules created sleep deprivation and erratic sleep patterns. when the truckers cried about how they where being abused and demanded that the feds "save them"... what did they expect?Originally Posted by Lunker
I got one for ya, why is it not ok for a commercial driver to work a few extra hrs, but it's ok for a nurse, doctor, fireman or ambulance driver? I understand I have a lot of responsibility behind the wheel, but why are we singled out as being unsafe after 14hrs? Was there some scientific study done that shows drivers are considered too risky after 14hrs? What inspired the current HOS rules to begin with?
