Nelson - Comments | In regards to the continued problems you seem to be having deciding what is a safe and resonable program for the hours of service I'd like to put my suggestion in for consideration. First,I'd like to say I've been a driver for 22yrs and in all this time I've had the question "What purpose does the 8 day week serve?". No other industry uses this and as a result in my opinion until this is eliminated we will never be able to have a "normal" work week.I know that has been your goal for the last couple of years so,with this in mind I submit the following plan. 70 hrs in 7 days instead of 8. Forget about the 34 hr restart, revert to the 10 hrs driving following 10 hrs off instead of 11. Keep the 14 hr clock once logged onto either "on duty or on duty not driving" status. This will allow a driver to put in 10 hrs a day Monday through Sunday giving him/her 14 hrs a day off duty or 14 hrs on duty Monday through Friday giving him/her 10 hours a day off.Then after sitting for the weekend, start again Monday morning with the hours he/she worked the previous Monday. This would allow a driver to actually get on a routine that works with their individual sleep periods that their body is used to as well as work a 7 day work week that will work with the rest of the country and it's industry. The 8 day week serves no purpose but get in the way of a normal scedule as we can't work the given hours we are allowed to drive daily without running out of hours on a day that doesn't exist on any calender. So please examine this idea and feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this idea. Thank You, Steve Nelson 423-645-1603 Keeping the 14 hour clock once on duty would be a good idea | FMCSA-2007:2007-01-01:2007-12-31 |
