why do they need to change the HOS. at all{other than letting us stop the clock for a bit if yu needed to.IE:up to 4hrs} right now we have never been safer out here, with less crashes,andstuff. they need to stop listening to these so called safty groups that have a agenda to punish trucking over one drivers actions and say thats all of us. please just leave the HOS alone. it already tough out here now.

Changing the hours of service will put more pressure on the driver. Thier is so much now because you can’t stop to take a take a break to let the traffic die down or abreak to rest for an hour or to with losing your running hours that drivers are pushing thier selves to make the miles .. Think about it we get paid by the mile lose hours less miles less money. I believe in safety as mich as anyone, but this is going to for.

Being a driver my opinion is that changing hours of service would not benefit safety issues and “would” cause added stress which then “becomes” a safety issue. Example, loosing an hour of drive time adds stress getting to appointed destination on time.
