12 on, 12 off

Do away with ALL other HOS rules.

12 hours ON duty to include all time on lines 3 and 4. When you reach 12
hours total on duty, you must log 12 straight hours OFF duty. The 12 hours
OFF duty can be any combination of lines 1 and 2.


I've proposed this issue since the request of the DOT for input on the
HOS rules almost 4 years ago.

I figured that if local drivers were allowed 12/12 why not OTR?
Scrap the other clocks. Simpler for the DOT to count as well.

But "local" is 12/10 not 12/ 12 and one day a week they can go twelve
hours.
