[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 2157890, member: 8481"] The FMCSA has many stupid rules, or many rules they don't have that they should. The typical government body. They are the elite and do what they want. Some of the rules they have are beneficial, some are just plain stupid. They used to require 2 consecutive periods off between 1 AM and 5 AM in order to reset your hours of service. Stupid rule. This rule has since been suspended. Any driver holding a CDL is subject to 0.04% BAC for an OVI or DWI, regardless of whether he is on the clock or not, in his personal vehicle or not. Everyone else in the country is subject to 0.08%, cops, nurses, judges, Congressman, etc. I agree that while on the clock, you should have no alcohol in your system, but if I'm off the clock, in my personal vehicle on the weekend, I'm still subject to 0.04% while everyone else is subject to 0.08% Stupid rule. I am also subject to reckless op, in my personal vehicle, if going over 15 MPH above the posted speed limit, as if I was on the clock driving a vehicle over 26,500 pounds. Stupid rule. I am basically subject to the same rules driving my personal vehicle off the clock that I am subject to driving a truck on the clock. [/QUOTE]
