Went to elogs years ago. Wouldnt want to draw silly little lines on silly little peices of paper for any reason. Bought the elogs and all the computer junk to go with , no big deal. If 11 hours of driving in a 14 hour day in a 70 hour work week isnt enough time for you please find an industry you can be successful in.
ELD Mandate....Any O/O's left the business because of it?

Industry .its not about drawing lines on paper ,or HOS it's about the government monitoring your every move,and some little power hungry ,over zealous DOT inspector
And federal inspector going up your ### with a microscope seeing if you've been a good boy .F&ck that.
It's disturbing When I hear people defend Electronic Logs that
Track you by GPS , make you run when your tired because your racing the clock ,and make you lay over when your 30 minutes from home so you won't get a "violation " by some DOT clown who wants your logs emailed to him 6 days later .
Go ahead say the standard "Good boy" saying ,"you should plan better" ,"adapt or get out of the industry","its the law"
All I hear is someone who doesn't have a clue to what made this country great ......Freedom .
All most ALL bad truck accidents ,and totally stupid incidents involving big trucks I have seen in 31 years of driving have been by big fleet drivers,Prime,Schneider,JBHunt,Swift,Fed Ex etc . All the players pushing for the ELD mandate ,to have a so called
Level playing field.Nothing to do with safety,but sold to the politicians and public under the guise of safety.
As far as you happily going to elogs years ago. I highly doubt you did so voluntarily ,I'm sure you were "told " to do so by whatever company your leased onto,or drive for ,you sound more like a company driver trying to sound like an owner operator . That's not a move any
one makes on there own so they don't have to "draw silly little lines" Your smug demeanor
Just shows through as a misery loves company attitude that if you have to be on them,your
Glad everyone else has to.Last edited: May 20, 2018

IMO, anyone upset over elogs I assume is mad that they can't run 4500 miles a week no more for cheap.

Trucking and real estate has been very good to me. It's just people praising elogs and how wonderful they are gets a little disturbing.
Granted they have been a positive thing as far as rates are concerned,but it's also the good economy,and driver shortage that is effecting rates along with other factors.Last edited: May 20, 2018

Also not sure the ELD's helped the rates all that much.? Personally I began to notice rates rising Dec. 2016- Jan 2017. I believe businesses started to feel free to ramp up production because they saw the economy tuning in a better direction..jamespmack and roadtech Thank this.
