ELD Mandate On the Way, Says FMCSA Official

And when the fmcsa opens the comment period,
How many drivers will NOT make their comments.
Last time the fmcsa wanted comments , was the hos rule, only about 25,000 out of 3 million CDL holders sent in, comments.

 

Exactly....too many driver want to whine about the problems but when it comes time to do what they should do to fix the problems no one does a darn thing..

 

That is 0.0083 percent...this about the same percentage of drivers who don't urinate in parking lots, litter, tailgate, blame everyone else.

 

This is idiotic. If you can explain how to color in a book you can write a program to do it. It's the same as 'paper' but would be able to do it faster...

 

Fmcsa don't listen to congress.

What makes you all think they would listen to trucks? ?????

 

If they gave drivers a way to stop their 14 hour clock like they used to the elogs probably wouldn't be so bad. For some drivers who have troubles with basic math they'll be a godsend since they do all the math for you. I dislike how this will encourage more micromanagement from dispatchers since they can read your logs at their computer.

 

Really wish there would have been some info on what all would be included in the mandate.
Guess we will have to wait and see.

 

I STILL think it should be a personal choice, but if it's to be mandatory, then I am glad that we did it when we did, and our "conversion" period is over.
