The county register of probate vote probably doesn't matter that much either way.

Vote for a constitutional convention if you want to let the clowns in the statehouse to change how the circus runs.

It's probably a mean, but you probably couldn't be successfully sued for defrauding the shareholders if you used the most flattering.

>The regulations strictly say 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 maximum. So I don't know where you are coming up with those numbers. And that's a maximum. Where are you getting that over 60 hours per week would be attainable or 70 in an 8 consecutive period.

FMCSA Interstate Truck Driver's Guide to Hours of Service March 2015

"If you follow the 70-hour/8-day limit and work 14 hours per day for 5 days in a row, you will have been on duty for 70 hours. You would not be able drive again until you drop below 70 hours worked in an 8-day period. However, if your company allows you to use the 34-hour restart provision, you would have driving time available immediately after 34 consecutive hours off duty. You would then begin a new period of 8 consecutive days and have 70 hours available"

"The use of a “valid” 34-hour restart resets a driver’s “weekly” hours back to zero. In addition, an individual may perform other on-duty tasks, such as loading or unloading and paperwork, after reaching the 60/7 or 70/8 hour limits."

>Actually, the company has legal obligations when it makes statements about employee costs as if it lies, it can be fraud against the share holders. So it is highly likely that those official quoted numbers are correct.

I never said otherwise. But a spokesman is going to pick biggest of mean, median, or mode and include all the bennies. Literally the job.

>Also, drivers are legally limited in the number hours and how long they can drive.

70-85 +/- just driving per average a week seems doable within regulations. That's not necessarily counting time/labor unloading.
