    I can see your point there. When I was looking at it some I wondered the same thing to myself. I wasn't aware of just how strict elogs cut you in and out as some others have said.

    Can definitely see the issue there.

    elogs and hos have nothing to do with safety . if they did they wouldn't penalize you for stopping when your tired and take a nap..if you do you clock is still ticking for the day so the nap you need to drive safely could cost you to be a day late. so you either drive tired and possibly wreck or take a nap that you desperately need. you can turn on the news and see which one most mega company drivers are forced to choice... im sure half congress will be getting a chunk of the elog money . how can tthey say it will save money over $5 a month for paper or $40 or more a month for elog plus up front equipment cost? someone getting a kick back...

    Again more information of how the system actually works I was not aware of. Thank you. This is the kind of thing I was looking for when I asked.

    I plan to.

    My comments about tech weren't to say one was better then the other, simply that I enjoy a simpler electronic option over paper. Not necessarily the rules behind them. I thought I made that clear in that post. Perhaps I didn't.

    That's why I was asking!

    And yes I expressed an opinion. So far I'm wrong, from the responses so far. Not that I would expect anyone to agree with what my opinion was lol. But still, I said it, I own it, I'll accept being proven wrong.

    Not only did you express an opinion you stated a fact about something you know absolutely NOTHING about. You stated you know when we cheat on logs. How could you possibly know that? You aren't a driver. We will shift our waiting time over to driving time. Wonderful. How do I add 4 more hours of driving time when I have already used 9 of them and can only drive for 11 total? "Not being a driver id there something I am missing here? Yes. You made a statement about something you know nothing about and you don't want to respect the responses.
    That's right. You asked! And now you don't want to listen to those who know. I could go on for a long time for I can see that you can't be educated. If all this sounds a little ugly to anybody get over yourself. Some of us are tired of being pushed around, abused, and ignored. I'm out.

    Here Here.... We have more oversight than a doctor, nurse, pharmacist or lawyer. Yes they have a lot of rules and regulations to follow but they do not have someone crawling up their ### on a daily basis. They are not subject to the possibility of daily random inspections.
     
    bigguns and not4hire Thank this.
