    Outstanding, you're the bestest as my grandson says. That's old school, the way it should still be everywhere, hat's off to you.

    OK, lunches over, back to the wood lot...

    Probably useless asking this here since ya'll still use colouring books and crayons.

    Do ELDs actually shut down the truck/put it in limp mode when you exceed your hours? Friend and I were debating that. I said no but he's convinced they will.

    Man somebody check my pulse because I think I just flat lined right along with the computer on the truck when several vehicles merged in front of me to take an exit and had to really put some pressure on the brake to keep from hitting these idiots, dude swung out right in front of my bumper

    @PoleCrusher is correct. As a eld rules no. However some companies do have a derate programmed into there parameters. Its all company policy, not law.
