What our Gov. and Universities do not understand is by imposing this it will put a majority of little companies that deliver the essentials that we americans buy everyday out of business hence when you go to pick up milk bread eggs, toilet paper or GASOLINE there will be none. Because the truck that delivers that will be shut down do to HOS because shippers hold them in docks for hours on in waiting on the product to be done to ship. I have worked as a Driver Manager and Account Manager for several large companies. They keep up with this stat and history of loading and unloading times. If we are going to enforce this EOBR we have to change the log rules yet again to let drivers adjust their logs for this as well as many other delays. If my driver starts his clock at 8am. sitting at a dock and… more »

…doesn’t get loaded till 1pm, and is supposed to be 500 miles overnight to deliver the next morning they have no time left to drive that. Causing the load to be delayed by a day and then the shipper cutting our rates for not delivering on time when it was their fault for not getting my driver out in a timely manner. without being able to adjust these times our country WILL come to a stop and as they say “then what” I can tell you but no one wants to say it. « less

It sounds like you have something to say about the proposed hours of service rule. You can tell DOT about that here: http://www.regulations.gov/#%21documentDetail;D=FMCSA-2004-19608-4095

If DOT could take care of that problem, do you think requiring EOBRs makes sense?
