    I hope its a mess with loads sitting on the docks and no trucks to haul them. Drivers will also have to quit their shifts earlier in order to find a legal parking spot so that will also reduce capacity. Driver pay will have to go up to compensate them for the reduced amount of time they are able to run. It would be nice for the driver to have the upper hand for once.

    Lol you guys are funny. You seem to have your head stuck up your rectum if you think elogs users can't cheat...
    1. Parking at shipper or receiver so you can bump the dock without tripping the elog
    2. Removing recurrent and tarps w without starting your clock.
    3. Doing paperwork off the clock
    4. Reading Qualcomm
    5. Trip planning
    6. Talking to dispatch
    7. Talking to breakdown
    There are many more but those are just off the top of my head. If you have not done any of these things then you are as liar. The days of 3 log books are long gone and have been for years.

    True, but on paper do drivers log this stuff as they do it?
    So if I am reading your post correctly .... You are saying elogs won't affect you one bit.
    Am I right?

    Nope. Truck is too old. Lumping all paper loggers as criminals is the same as saying all eloggers are angels

    But lumping all eloggers and governed trucks as the only trucks to race through construction and school zones and towns is just as wrong.
    But it's the way it is
