1) intrusion on a person's territory, rights,ect.

2) A gradual advance beyond usual or acceptable limits.

3) A penalty in which a defensive player is positioned in the neutral zone at the start of a play, LOL.

I love the elogs on the outlaw drivers, it is so funny reading how they can’t comply or they can’t get their nap in. A nap?
I love it.
And the “why do I have yo pay for elogs bit”

But I like being a company driver because of the health insurance part.

Megas keep track of hundreds to thousands of drivers, automation makes that easier, requiring fewer employees, so the logging systems pay their own way for them.

There is a breakeven number, below which, the cost is increased, and that varies, depending on mixed duties of company management staff. It's going to cost a single truck more than paper logs.

Another note, ELD is a sea change, the amount of data collected makes malfunctions more likely, hence you have to keep it visible, have the indicator lights, have the ability to log those malfunctions and on and on.

Less than 2 weeks and had that already, and that was a 'recognized' malfunction. I'm in IN, my data is now good, so I'm able to help the phone. And Hoosiers baffle the heck out of me, the thought process seems different. Even up here in Chicagoland east.

By your logic we should fill trucks with foreigners with lots of Red Bull and ephedrine pills and let them drive all they want.
How can you think a 10 hour break is too long?

By my logic, you should take a short course in reading comprehension. I never said I thought 10 hours was too long, I said I didn't need it. The implication was that I did not now nor have I ever needed someone to tell me when or how much rest I should be getting.

And if you haven't noticed, filling trucks with foreigners is exactly what they are doing already, and precisely what this new mandate will bring about going forward, and it won't be by accident.

I think many here are missing the point of the ELD entirely. It's not about compliance. It's not about safety. The companies that have been exclusively electronic for years are the biggest killers on the highway, you can look that up. What it is about, is control. And running many of the smaller companies out of business. More for them, less for you.

I'm an old dog. Will I learn this new trick? You bet I will. But in a few months I will either be running within 100 miles or working at the local saw mill. I don't need a 10 hour break or a 34 hour restart or 70 hours in 8 days for that matter. I need to drive when I'm rested and rest when I'm weary, and only I know when that is. I'm a man, no one pushes me beyond what I'm capable or into anything I'm uncomfortable with. 25 years without a wreck. I can count my tickets on one hand. If you think you need a government beaurocrat to guide your every move than have at it.

The sanctimonious tone of the compliance crowd is very telling, and a sad comment on the slow and certain demise of the American Spirit. Most of you couldn't even say why they came out with logs in the first place, you should look that up as well. Like everything else your so called leaders do for your alleged benefit, it always leads to your eventual poverty and enslavement.

If your present gig happens to gell with electronic logs, more power to you. But I believe that most of those on here touting this latest "encroachment" are nothing more than a bunch of lazy peckerwoods.

Ok so your a fairly well spoken individual.
Could please explain how this law is an encroachment?

I would call the mandate encroachment by that definition. It's obvious this isn't going any where. You have your opinion
I have mine.

What’s wrong with being well rested when you drive a big truck down the highway alongside normal people?

Talking to anybody like that shows who you really are. I'm all for a little jab to get the blood pumping don't get me wrong. Trying to make a man look stupid shows who the stupid one really is.
