    so in December or so all the aobrd guys are going to have to switch to full eld unless sometime comes up with a system to get passed all the crap

    So my question is. What happens to the 2000 pre emissions/eld/glider trucks?
    I wonder if there will be a system or still exempt?

    Anyone?

    Just like every date based regulation it will still be in effect.
    No different than say ABS. (very) older trucks can still go without them.
    99.99% of the trucks will die of natural causes.
     
    Coffey and S M D Thank this.

    I just bought a 00 w9 so I’m hoping to get the full use of it for a while.

    That’s a fact.
    Thanks for the input though.
    Like I stated I bought a w9 00 est 99 with a fully built motor so it should last me years before it dies naturally.

    Yeap......Join us paper guys- don't matter tho- these congested highways wont let us drive the way we came up. You can feel the anxiety from everyone in the hammer lane.

    When its 3pm- and everyone's flying outta Indy on I-70 going east or west- I'll go to Brazil or something for awhile
     
    Timin770, Coffey, D.Tibbitt and 2 others Thank this.

    Granted I can do anything with my aobrd cuz I run the show here with a few trucks I’m looking to retire one of my trucks and get a truck I’ve always wanted a 3406 kitty an opportunity came up so I hopped on it. And I have to say. I miss scribbling lines on paper.
    I pick the truck up in a week or 2 when I have time to fly out. Business is crazy at home so need to make time.
    But I’m ready!
     
    Coffey, Intothesunset and stayinback Thank this.

    yea any truck 99 and older that an ELD cant monitor data directly from engine with not be mandatory, still just paper logs. That's the major difference between ELD and AOBRD, ELD's are real time and record down to the second by graphing from ECM instead of 15 min blocks that can be altered by driver

    This is the whole reason I have a 1992 truck sitting at home untill I repair some things.
    No eld, no ABS, no emissions required.

    and If you actually have a 1992 model year tractor (Dont matter which mfgr), you have Gold-
    Ill tell you why-

    1989 thru 1993 model year trucks are so hard to find these days- simply because those 4 years gave you the most perfect truck,with most perfect mechanical engines..etc.

    Go try to Find one- You can Find a tom of 1994's and later-or 1988's and earlier.......
    Keep that truck
