Grizz, it's not that they're nitwits, it's a matter of training and training and training. You have to keep up with the changes every day and then you have to get the word out to the truckers. And FWIW, the changes in the FMCSR are caused by the TRUCKING INDUSTRY, not the DOT and certainly not the LE community. Any time you see something that makes no sense to you, there's about a 95% chance that an industry rep on the rules board petitioned for the change. ALL the HOS rules are industry generated, same with equipment. But anyway, if the agency the DOT cop works for is lax in training then you are going to get differing answers from different people. Honestly, we spent a LOT of time in training and usually were researching things every single day to make sure we had the straight scoop. It's not an easy job. My state legislature (NY) foolishly thought that by adopting the FMSCR in it's entirety as state law they'd avoid problems with conflicting laws. HA! It opened a gigantic can of worms that resulted in a lot of hate and discontent. Some times you just can't win.
