 Hours
of Service (HOS) 2005 Information
NEW as of 10/01/05: Thanks to
the assistance of Sergeant
Jim Brokaw and with the permission of Colonel
Bryan Tuma from the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP),
the Ol’ Blue, USA Web site now provides
an easy-to-use, straightforward presentation
of the new rules, complete with sample logbook
pages. At the conclusion, you will find a means
in which to print out the entire 58 page Slideshow.
Color is most effective but is a bit time consuming.
According to Sgt. Brokaw, this
is the same information he recently used to
train their Lieutenants and Sergeants responsible
for supervising the Troopers assigned to the
Carrier Enforcement Division of the Nebraska
State Patrol. It will also be the basis for
our in-service refresher training for our Troopers.
