    Poll is crap "Have you onserved ... because of ELD"
    How would anyone know of another was speeding because they speed vs. eld.

    Also, eld doesn't cause anyone to speed, poor planning does. It's not like hos has changed.

    No, this is just a piece put out by a group that cannot run legally.

    Oh boy here we go with the "planning" BS.

    These goons would have us all build in 2-3 hours every day in case of bad traffic conditions that CANNOT be predicted.

    The sad news is these weaklings will gleefully submit to their beloved government no matter how ridiculous the request

    I bet if a driver on paper logs got caught in a backup and the only way to make on time delivery was to speed . I bet that driver would just mosey along and be late and would let his customer reschedule him or be a work in.
    Yeah...

    Or did the article say drivers on paper logs cheat so much that they don’t need to speed?

    And yet millions of other drivers can manage it. Sad that some drivets are so poor at their jobs that they cannot manage one of the most important aspects of that job (HOS).

    Eld makes driver do nothing driver chooses to do things not ELD. Some drivers make bad choices. Some day I will decide to take a hammer to my ELD that will be all my decision also.
    Good news Wyoming traffic deaths are up 58% from 2018, I wonder why the drastic difference?

    No, I speed because I can see objects in the road for miles and heavy traffic is more than one car every ten miles
