    “Electronic logs woke us up and made us understand we were losing money,” he said. “We had no choice but to give up or raise our rates.”

    Maybe our solutions

    For certain niches, yes E-logs either don't matter or make a positive impact as long as drivers aren't on production pay. The biggest incentive you can give a driver to run compliant is to divorce pay and HOS completely.

    Makes a man wonder what raising rates has to do with electronic logs.

    It has nothing to do with e-logs of course. What it did do for this company is slap them in the face and make them realize that running hard and illegal is not the best way to run a business. Instead of the misguided more miles, more hours mantra, they found that working smarter is , well... smarter.
