Question:
Landstar has one of the best tutorial I’ve seen on the new HOS. This is a big plus for them. I think everyone should advise the shippers of the changes since productivity per unit will drop. Therefore rates should be raised.
Here is the tutorial:

Answer:
I printed out a bunch of the stuff from the link posted. That way I can read it and learn it between now and Jan 4th. It's pretty clear and easy to understand.

Answer:
OK, What am I missing?
heres what I get out of this.
Now: 10 hours driving 8 hours off.
New: 11 Hours driving 10 Hours off (you gain 1 more hour to drive, but spend another hour off, same rule just bigger)
Benefit?
Now: your total on duty and driving time cannot exceed 15 hours.
New: Total on duty and Driving time cannot exceed 14 hours.
Benefit?
The best part and the only benefit I can see is that after 36 hours off, your clock restarts.
I must be missing somthing, because I dont see what these rules were designed to fix.
Seems like the same rules with a bigger window.
It took how long? to come up with this.
Please, sombody, tell me what im missing.

Answer:
For posting this link. It has made the new changes a lot easier to understand once you see the sample logs.The one thing that still has me confused is how will you do the re-cap for your 70hrs/8day if the clock resets after being off for 36 hrs?
