-> Rich,
-> I need some information on hours of work regulations. I have been 
-> reading through your federal regulations to try to answer something 
-> about combining "off duty" and "sleeper berth" time. Our regulations 
-> allow 13 hours of driving (you guys allow only 10) after "8 
-> consecutive hours off duty" . The regulations defines that as 8 
-> consecutive hours off duty or as time spent in the sleeper in two 
-> periods not less than 2 hours that add up to 8. However, it does not 
-> provide for combining off duty and sleeper berth, even if they are 
-> consecutive. Some drivers in an internet news group are quite 
-> convinced that it is allowed, provided they run consecutively, but no 
-> one can provide a source for that, other than anecdotal accounts of 
-> being checked or audited and not being charged.

interest here.
-> My personal take is that it is not legal here or there, but that it is
-> warning material.

-> ????
-> BTW.... I keep seeing messages to you in this echo that appear to be
-> replies to you, but I never see any messages from you. Perhaps if you 
-> have
I guess, since I run a small ISP, that I have Internet access :)
