Truck Driving Rules and Regulations

There is a new website that teaches professional truck driver Hours of Service (HOS) Rules and Regulations - iHeavyHaul.com. 

The FMCSA that run under the direction or the US DOT issues new HOS updates every year which are not always easy to understand so iHeavyHaul lays our these rules in an easy to understand format for drivers. They offer all of the FMCSA information on their website for free and even send out tweets via twitter.com every 8 hours so drivers can learn the new HOS updates within a week or whenever they feel they are ready they can discontinue the tweets. It's a very smart concept and we can't figure out why someone hasn't done this a long time ago as this has always been a problem. 

They also offer driver logbook training as well which shows truck drivers how to properly fill out there logbooks so they are in comliance with USDOT and FMSCA Rules and regulations. Way to go and we hope the seem more sites like this one that help truck drivers in the future.
