    In 2015 and 2016 you wouldn't even survive doing spot market on Elogs

    I don't blame them.This eld thing is simply unhuman and it won't accomplish anything other than making producers of those things rich.

    I have never been this much compliant as for the last 5 days. No adrenaline entering open scales any more. Sadly! There is one good thing about elogs. I can find time and maybe start practicing meditation. There has been too much negative energy in me, a dark force polluting my soul. Now, having been 5 days on this, I already acquired a strange sensation of tranquility. Or It is messing with my mind...I left a waitress (ugly like hell for that matter) a $20 tip today.

    He’s talking about illegal aliens mooching off welfare. Apparently they have the same problem up there.

    The European Union has had some form of mechanical then electronic form of HOS recording for more than 30 years.
    I guess it is probably a good time to start a thread about how to defeat the ELD. But I guess the admins will delete them as fast as they delete the threads about EGR deletes and emission mods.

    Just little cheats like this:
    I was asked to park along the curb and wait for a call to tell me which dock to go to..I waited on line 2 for 1 hour and 5 minutes when they called me to back in ...I am not going to waste, potentially useful, 2 hour sleeper break, so slowly, below 5mph to a dock, I turtle drive, closely watching my GPS speedometer, hoping, of course, not to annoy anyone else behind me as I crawl drive that 750 yards. However, as hypocritical as I can be, I'd be darned pissed off, if someone did it to me. :mad: :mad::mad::mad:. This potential annoyance/inconsideration caused to others will be gone, once they give me, long overdue 15 mph threshold, before the motion is detected.

    I think, I should be morally exonerated, by the fact that during my short episode with Werner, as a rookie driver in 2002, I attended their 3 safety meetings, and quite a portion of those were devoted to Qualcomm tips and tricks. One of those: "When you fuel... once you are under the canopy, put yourself to line 1 ASAP....and continue to fuel" . I remember like it happened yesterday.

    It's not about being a level playing field. It's about being smarter than the others on the playing field.
