   Quelle surprise!, and FMSA study that "proves?" what FMSSA and their   
   lobby wanted it to prove.   
      
   Has little to do with the real world outside of some of the big   
   companies that have to and can afford to do it the FMSA way.   
      
   The fact of human nature (of good common sense, actually) is that if you   
   are paid for the number of rotations made by your drives, you (the   
   driver) will maximize the number of rotations and minimize the number of   
   hours it takes to get the maximum number of rotations.   
      
   Add to that that the study does not mention the conditions under which   
   the "rest" occurred or report on such things as sleeper berth conditions   
   in truck-hostile states.
