I am, and currently drive the exact same size delivery van he drives. Cdl drivers work on a daily hourly restriction placed on us by federal laws. It's a 11/14 limit. 11 hours driving, and 14 total. So, you can work 14 hours daily, but only 11 can be behind the wheel. That can be 3 hours loading and or securing your load. All time behind the wheel is counted, even if you are sitting. After the limit, you are required 10 hours away. Sleeper berth, or hotel. Also there is a required 34 hour reset after 70 hours worked.

The thing is, none of that applies if the truck you drive is NOT a commercial vehicle. I have no clue if what he was driving was. Still praying for his family.

Great info Goat! I knew you would know. Would you cut and paste into Richs thread?

I'm not seeing a 34 hour reset after 70 hours in what he posted logging 123 hours in 9 days.

No sir. That's a thread to remember and grieve for our fallen comrade. That info put in that thread would rustle many jimmies and rightfully so. I'm taking this news as a horrible accident, not anything illegal. Running illegal opens a can of worms that doesn't need to be opened in a public forum.

Only a log book would show a reset. And that's assuming a log book was required. I would bet my life one was required. Once again, I only care about his family, and his lost life. Nothing else

PV copied your post to that thread. I agreed with what you responded to him. Just doesn't feel right to get that going in his thread

Agree. I hope when I get blasted tomm, that at least you understand that was NOT my intention. Rich was one of the few posters on here I really liked, and I do NOT want to be seen as someone looking past what happened. I only see this as a fellow poster tragically losing his life way too soon.

I took no offense to your post. I really respected RR, played Fantasy Football with him. Great guy, devastating news, it honestly had me shocked and a terrible feeling in my stomach. Crazy how you can build bonds with people through Volnation. Prayers for that family.
And I get what PV was getting at but I just felt the same way about posting that in his thread.
Hopefully nobody tries to blast you but I'll definitely get your back. Terrible news, just isn't right.

This. I really hope nobody tries to blast you Goat. You handled it just fine IMO. This is a terrible tragedy and his thread should be there just as a way for us to pay our respects.

Settle down guys. I deleted it and certainly was posting in Rich's best interest.

Oh I'm settled, and I wasn't even upset with you or anything. I get what you were getting at, and looking out for a fellow F4L and his family. I just didn't want to see a bunch of posts getting thrown around about it or debated, definitely when his family gets to check out the thread and how everyone wanted to say their goodbyes and prayers.

But if their was something off about the terrible loss of life, I would want his family to know.

I wasn't trying to make a deal, it just sucks, terrible and just want the thread to be as good as it can be during this time.

You're right Goat. No matter what you post on this site there will be 10 people trying to spin it into something negative and absolutely stupid. To the negavols... Check Rich's friend list and if you aren't on it...well.

:hi:

I guess I was a narc huh lol. I just knew Goat was worried about that in the thread. I didn't want anyone being misunderstood, definitely when it should be all about RR's family.
Hate how this stuff can just happen at anytime. You really just never know what the day will bring.

You need to change your avi back to JH running at fist pumping speed. I recognize pics better than words :)

Yeah, actually that's a good idea. I only changed it to Booth because I'm an Indy boy but the he bounced. Then TriCities said everybody should change it to Malone the night before he committed and I think I was the only one lol.
I do have this cool one of Dillon Bates with him in front of a power T. He really will be like Sean Lee I think. Heck of a LB.

You live in Alabama. Just know that you are in our prayers everyday too bro. :)

Pray brother. I was threatened by a couple of guys that looked like they paint houses for a living for having a power T hitch cover on my truck while I was pumping gas. I had to pull my jacket back over my right hip and stretch to encourage them to make a better decision.

Yeah I was a little bummed lol. I was able to watch him play, talked to his dad and everything. But that's recruiting for you. I'm thankful we at least pretty much traded Malone for Booth. I'd gladly take him again, actually after his tweets last week, I don't think I would lol. I wouldn't mind still pulling a WR like Lauderdale, to go along with RB ( Scott or Williams-screw LSU) and Adoree Playboy Jackson.

You think we will try and get another Juco DT since Lambert is a traitor? Calvin hertelou (spelling?) seems like a project, but his size and athletic ability sound promising. Quick for his huge frame.


Oh and thanks for thinking of me! :salute: lol

Lol, no problem. Man, I haven't a clue. I follow recruiting as closely as I can, but I have no opinion. I honestly hope the staff targets a very good high school DT. I know what is needed, but was lost, but maybe we can get a long term solution to a permanent problem.
