[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5100791, member: 77939"] Ok. These coworkers....are they bound by hours of service? Why? Well, when do they "manage" their employees? If you spend one second "working" during your reset period....you are in violation. No? You bet. Please don't say he does nothing for his business. Who dealt with the wrecker folks and all that.....insurance claims? Scheduling maintenance? Say, why don't you go sleepers? You crave the shiny wheel lifestyle.....and at UPS it pays $150k. Never lifting a finger except driving. And your friends who have these side businesses.....that will all come out in discovery in an accident investigation. Remember, this is Federal stuff. DOT/NTSB. Why? We had a fatality in our group. He was infamous for having a "family" business. Wife ran it. But he openly talked about working there. He rear ended another semi early in the morning(over-night). Killing himself. Fatigue? See? The NTSB does causality/contributing factors analysis....including fatigue factors. Again, I will cite the Walmart crash of a few years ago. Killed a bus full of students(a few). Running falsified logs and all the rest of what that takes.....Sued? Oh yes. [/QUOTE]
