You're correct Gary. The company I'm with has the same problem with drivers trying to comprehend the rules of HOS.

If they got to change, the best way in my opinion, would be to do away with the 14 hour rule. Keep the 34 hour restart or stretch it to 36. Driving time could be 10 or 11 with a cumulative total of 10 hours rest during the 24 and after the driving time.

Myself, I play by my own rules. I like to drive in the overnight. Go to bed before sunrise, wake up about noon, drive a couple or three hours, eat, take a nap until dark and start over. I know better than the government the rest my body needs and I get it, when I need it.

As long as my fuel stops match.

I think the only change that needs to be done is to include the two hour split with the 10 hour off duty time… rather than confine the split with just the use of sleeper. This will give driver a little more flexibilty, plus they don't need to worry about whether or not they messed up their hours of service…Otherwise leave it alone!!! The more the powers to be…. mess with it… the worse it gets… I have gave several group presentations and believe me, sometime drivers have a time trying to grasp the whole concept of what FMCSA is trying to convey to them… Thanks Gary
