    I would not have a problem with a data recorder that recorded the that 5 minutes of vehicle data, but I do have a problem with ANY device that can shut the truck down, based on an arbitrary time limit.

    I understand why the BFI's have their panties in a bunch over this, but if they were to hire quality drivers and pay them a living wage, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH FMCSA VIOLATIONS!!!!!

    So what now? Will they not just appeal to a higher court? E.O.B.R's do nothing but make a person run 100% legal tired or not. I say follow the money. Its nothing to do with safety it has everything to with control. These mega-carriers can afford these upgrades and have more capacity to handle the forced out of hours shutdown.

    One question I do have. Has anyone said rather or not, they will put a number on the amount of trucks a company will have before they force EOBR's on them?
