All driving jobs should get paid by the hr. Ot after 40 hrs. and getting paid what you are worth.

But I would have the 14 hour limit just in case their are to many super truckers out there that want to push to hard

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, change.....
I think a few other drivers have the right angle; change the country's perception of truck driving, especially the powers 'that be'.....
The trucking industry leaders call drivers "professional"..................... but.................................... The Department of Labor calls the drivers unskilled...... So, drivers are professional, unskilled workers........... If these two group can't get together to determine where the drivers fit....how is anyone else in the public going to give the drivers the respect they are asking for and should get?

I agree with Yoop. Bring back the old HOS. Or better yet, abolish HOS altogether. I don't run according to the HOS, I run according to when I'm tired. I know when I'm tired and how much sleep I need to function. :roll:
