A 40 page paper, including, table of contents, executive summary, illustrations and appendices, based on a case presented by the student. The issue is how the new hours of service regulations will impact a specific short-haul company with a fleet of 500 trucks. The HOS regulations and the use of electronic record-keeping devices are reviewed and included in the paper. A comprehensive analysis of the impact of HOS is provided, which includes numerous calculations to compare weekly and annual payroll under exiting HOS and under the new HOS. Alternative actions are discussed. Other issues discussed include a description and the value of using automated routing programs, and benefits of using automatic on-board record-keeping systems that also include GPS. Specific products are mentioned. A price comparison is included for a Class 3 truck with and without the automatic on-board system. The issue of driver fatigue is discussed in terms of sleep apnea with a recommendation to test all driver applicants for this condition. Statistical data included. 4 Tables/Illustrations are included. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

paper properly! [Note to Student: I hope this helps you get that pesky test. The examples for citations says MLA is used but there are quite a few differences
between the updated MLA we use and your examples. I have tried to use the examples sent. ook over the citations very carefully as I cannot guarantee their accuracy
with your guidelines. It also looks like you have a program to create a lifecycle analysis - "NAFA Lifecycle Cost Analysis software program." Since we do not normally perform any
type of statistical analysis or provide real data, I have included a cost comparison along the lines of your model and leave the excel spreadsheet with formula up to you.
Good luck.] Table of Contents Subject Page Number Executive Summary Statement of the Problem Method of Approach List of Issues for Analysis 1. Analysis 1.1. Review
