    All I'm saying electronic logs is just that. Electronic. If they said eld will now enforce speed limit too, well, it still isn't eld fault. It's the government. Maybe because I grew up around computer and went to college for it, but it's just a device, like your phone. If you have a problem with your phone, you call the maker or service provider. You don't just make a hate club on all phones.

    If he's referring to anti-competetive rules I'm sure the point would be that small businesses would be at a disadvantage.

    But I haven't seen companies pull this card out. Maybe they will.
     
    JimmyWells Thanks this.

    Is English your first language? I find it very difficult to believe you've made it out of the 6th grade more less attended college as you've claimed in your earlier post.

    jimmywells is not off the mark regarding killing the competition. it is freely admitted,by the ones pushing the ruling that it is going to take more trucks to meet demand with the eld. the megas have the trucks,and the CHEAP LABOR to absorb this. little guys don't. the megas have also already brought rates down,that they again can absorb. the little guys can't.

    statements like these truly are laughable.
    remember when gov't predicted the obamacare savings? where are they?
     
    Knucklehead, BoostedTeg and JimmyWells Thank this.

    Man if you have to cheat everyday just to put a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the table, I feel really sorry for you. What a sad life, nobody should have to work that hard just for a peanut butter sandwich!! Just the same for those people who consistently speed thru construction zone. All that just to make a shiny penny?
     
    peterd and mindes Thank this.
