[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 558087, member: 13921"] I disagree. It is up to the driver to arrive at work rested. A railroader does not have the option to 'pull the train over' if he/she needs a nap. This leads to the larger debate concerning logs and drivers that fudge them and companies that turn a blind eye to it. If truckload freight moved similiarly to LTL, providing parking for the homeless would not be an issue. As taxpayers, we spend billions providing the trucking industry with steering wheel holders so that they can continue to treat employees so poorly, that 125% turnover is the industry norm. If trucking companies had to follow hours of service laws as closely as the railroads, most would go out of business. TB [/QUOTE]
