    Would not care to bet?

    This is the government we are talking about.

    Anyway, the FMCSA does not have the power to end the program dictated by the congress.

    You're right, it #### well could happen there, these e logs are just the beginning and once they figure out that revenue from fines is easily gathered and a great stealth tax the laws and restrictions come hard and fast , here it's gone to the point where it interferes with civil liberties in my view and they haven't helped anyone, in the days where we used not pay too much attention to the tachos I was home for 3 days a week if I wanted with about 30% more pay, so who do they help?

    Yup that's happening here, England and belguim are the biggest culprits but other countries are introducing it too, interfering with the recording device is classed as fraud , fraud means you go to prison and have a record, it's the only job you go to prison for doing overtime ! It's wrong and I urge u guys to resist the introduction of 'the spy in the cab'

    You are 100% right but it seems like nobody wants to think about that. As a matter of fact, seems like a lot of sheeple welcome it but it's been the mindset that Government will protect us from ourselves/eachother for some time now, but won't/don't listen to people who've been there. No, we can make big government work here because this is the United States, eventhough it's failed everywhere else in the world. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid..... Well I've gotten political now so I'm 10/7

    A-car what I know is the Canadians bring there cement,asphalt and just about everything else down here. I have to compete with these carriers on a daily basis . I'm a bulk hauler and they affect the rates greatly. I'm sure you don't see them down south but your time will come. Enjoy your night.
