So the driver was employed by Walmart. So what was happening with dispatch that he was driving
for over 24 hours straight, according to New Jersey State Police? Do those trucks have auto logs?

Why would you admit you haven't slept for 24 hrs sounds kinda dumb for me. Fits the attitude of their divers though thinking they're better than th rest of us
T_TRUCKER⢠and toss009 Thank this. -
The HOS rules and eLogs can only dictate when and how long a driver can DRIVE. They can not dictate how much sleep a driver gets or even if a driver gets sleep and the amount thereof. If a driver wants to spend his 12 hours off duty in a casino or help someone move, then began driving, that's on him.

What if the driver logs sleeper and had insomnia. Elogs dont really keep anyone safer. Honest people will be honest. Dishonest people will be dishonest and a computer wont change that period. Btw I'm on Elogs myself and I dont mind just agreeing to the point above. -
Next will be mandatory ankle bracelets that must be kept in close proximity to the sleeper for a minimum of 8 hours, Circadian rhythm monitors/REM monitors to make sure you are properly rested or your truck wont move. Don't even laugh: If it's stupid, expensive, intrusive, and profit hindering, big brother will mandate it.

Driving all night and into the next mornings sunrise is not for everyone
-
do we know yet if it was a wal mart driver? or was it a sub contractor pulling a wal mart trailer....

Just because the HOS don't say you can drive all day, stay up all night, and drive the next day doesn't mean it is "legal" to do so:
Boardhauler and loose_leafs Thank this.
