    You can't plan for a shipper/reciever messing your day up.
    I'm sure there's going to be some fights going on out there, especially in the Northeast where they love to kick you off their property as soon as they'e done with you.

    Here's what needs to Be done... If there are 50 trucks in the docks in all 50 run out of hours then all 50 park there and do not move.... It'll take a collective effort to knock some sense into the shippers and receivers.... What that being said I'm glad I'm no longer do and Dry Van Or reefer.. I don't have to put up with that garbage

    I'm using Big Road. None ELD. I've been using the app for a few weeks now seems very friendly. Thanks to @redoctober83 for the info on it. I will keep you all posted

    No you can't but i don't have much issue with this. If a guy is logging legal then this would mess him up if he was on paper also.

    First 10 years or so I didn't run very legal, loved my looseleafs. But since then I didn't run illegal enough to get into trouble. Difference between eld & paper is I wouldn't log being in a back up or driving across town on paper.

    But as you're seeing now, when you run for good rates you don't have to run hard. Elogs don't cause me any issues now cause I don't run hard enough to worry about it. I'm not running for peanuts anymore. I'd like to see the HOS tweaked but paper or eld doesn't matter to me.
