So how is everyone liking the new HOS so far

[ghostrider]

It hasn't been a week yet, hows the smooooooth transfer doing. I know my pool is doing awesome, we lay in the away from home terminal longer than at home, we're running out of people, and most turns are working. All boards were outa people, so I do expect a recall of a lot of furloughed people until they can figure this stuff out, and then a big hatchet job again.

Boy you are just full of good news...Kinda figured that is the way it will work out. Maybe it will take all of winter to get figured out and then traffic will pick up....and i win the lotto and my wife moves in her supermodel girlfriend.

I figure the one thing they can do to save them selves is to add to the boards otherwise in they will be out of people in 3-4 days for 48 hours unless we have a bunch of team players and they smart rest out.

When the Rav pool starts hitting their FRA mandated 48 off in a few days, hoo boy, then it's going to get interesting real quick.

That's what they are counting on, and there is a good chance they won't be disappointed.

Smart rest may save the engineers, but the conductors xtra board has been tapped for a few days now, can't run them trains if only half the crew is available.

Good to see you coal boys are running out of men, as for the rest of the railroad, even with this new RSIA, nothing has changed. Still slow.

Other problems occurring will be waiting for lodging, with employees staying longer at the AFHT terminal the railroads only contracted so many rooms... Ya the Ravenna pool which is our largest pool will be shutting down soon, as for the conductors, as much as they big up they will have two starts on same day therefore resetting there clocks. I wouldn't be worrying to much about those guys. I didn't realize how many there were in that pool that did it. But the ones that aren't moving everyday they will be hitting there starts and being off. If I'm still in the pool I'm taking my 48 and going on a bike ride.

Well we'll keep the coal moving until we all go green and do away with that dirty coal. Its really just the railroad not being able to figure out how to work with the new rules as the problems happening. 3 days and we'll see about the team players here.

Ride safe brother. Remember all those other motorists are out to kill you.
