[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 805861, member: 9500"] DOT wants YOUR comments about proposed HOS changes. Specifically, the DOT would like to know if you would prefer the current 11 hours of driving time or only 10. Summary of proposed changes: [url]http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/topics/hos-proposed/hos-proposed.aspx[/url] How to submit comments: [url]http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/topics/hos-proposed/comments.aspx[/url] How to submit comments online: (yes the Govt never makes this easy) [url]http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/topics/hos-proposed/comments.aspx#online[/url] Link to regulations.gov where you submit comments: [url]http://www.regulations.gov/#!home[/url] Choose "Proposed regulations" paste " FMCSA-2004-19608 " in the keyword box chose "submit a comment" under the Actions column. For your Package Drivers, I suggest asking that the exception under 395.1 that UPS is abusing be removed. If you asked for 10 hours of driving time with a max of 12 hours worked that would probably solve your 9.5 problem. You could ask for these rules to not apply in December if you like the extra overtime then. Expect these rules, whatever they end up as, to be in court for quite a while but the current DOT is way more interested in what Drivers think about their rules rather than Corporate America so take advantage now!
