HOS DEBATE * USA - Trucker says: "HOS about compliance, not safety"
Putting EOBRs into the trucks is only to force us to be unsafe and compliant
Washington,DC,USA -The Trucker News Services -6 Feb 2010: -- The Hours of Service rules as they are written are unsafe, unhealthy, and inhumane. Yet, the DOT has chosen to put compliance to these unsafe HOS as more important then safety... All DOT officials I asked have said that compliance is first and safety second. Most of us drivers continue to put safety first and when we get caught doing it we are punished for choosing safety... Putting EOBRs into the trucks is only to force us to be unsafe and compliant... The DOT for some reason does not want us to choose safety first. This does not make any sense to us drivers who believe safety first should be the concern of everyone. The DOT refuses to listen to us drivers who know the HOS are unsafe. They would rather listen to people who have no idea what safety is or anything about trucking. (Photo from vtlmi.info)
