My post two weeks ago about the 8/2
split was shared on the Freymiller FB page and the response surprised me. The volume surprised me; not the
content. A few comments supported my
theory that many don’t understand how the 8/2 works. Most don’t use it unless the other option is
a late load.
There are three times I’m likely to
use it.
1. When it’s the only way I’m going to
make an appointment on time. This has
happened twice since I wrote that post which supports my belief in the Law of
Attraction.
2. When I get either an 8 or a 2
unexpectedly, I will take the other to make the best use of my time.
3. When it will get me home (or to
wherever I’m taking time off) faster. A
couple of years ago I ran 8/2 from the California Central Valley back to OKC on
Thanksgiving so I would get back in time to watch the Macy’s parade.
The 8/2 split is the only HOS law I
have ever seen stir such a passionate response.
People seem to either really love or really hate this law. I don’t understand what it is about the law
that causes people to have such a strong reaction. Maybe it’s older drivers (who drove for years
under the old laws) who are resistant to change? Maybe it’s the drivers who really struggle to
understand how it works expressing frustration?
I think Freud would have a field day with this one.
