    Hello guys!
    I need some advice from you. I'm trying to choose EOBR and don't have success so far. Which one you thinks will be most productive in terms of decreasing my company HOS score. I have a few trucks in my fleet. Score is ok now but it looks like it will be too hard to keep it good

    Landstar used the MCP50 and MCP700 for their owner ops. I want to say they are done by Comdata, but that can't be right. Any BCO's here that can confirm what company it is?

    How about hiring drivers who are capable of putting pen to paper??? Having an EOBR will just chase qualified applicants away from your company. If your drivers cannot comply with the HOS or are too lazy to properly fill out a logbook then how about getting rid of them and employing someone who will not get into trouble?

    So many people are being manipulated by ''The Score''.It is sad to see that the Government has turned so many people into SHEEPLES and Obiediant Children over this ''Score''...

    The FACT is this.You can go and get an EOBR and whatever else you think will somehow lower this ''score''.It will not matter one bit.Why,you ask..

    It will not matter because the DOT will find another way to SHOVE IT RIGHT UP YOUR ###...!!!!!...Can you not see that the game is ''Rigged'' and you will lose.The game is all geared towards the DOT and FMCSA to Win and the Carriers and Drivers to lose..

    I myself had all my ducks in a row and got a ticket for the reflective tape being ripped and not 12 inches.I also got one for a tire he said was 80lbs..I checked it with my gauge and it read 103lbs..See what i mean driver...

    You can't fight City Hall Scum...The game is rigged so why even bother stressing yourself out..If they want to find stuff to run your score up,they will..

    I know a guy at L/S who was one of the first to get an EOBR/ELOG.Well he is now at Mercer because L/S cancelled him for to many ''stupid little'' meaningless violations..

    The E-Babysitter did not SAVE HIM.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nice advise but how you would know that the future applicant is enough qualified not get into trouble, we can't take any risk considering today DOT rules. you can check mvr,csa, do orientation whatever and still no guaranty that future applicant will comply with the HOS

    Qualcomm, but I thought I read in another thread that they won't do business with small companies.

    they do business with small companies now.
    I already checked that. Still not the best option, they are too pricy and require two year service plan.
     
    landstar8891 Thanks this.
