    What is an EOBR? If I had to guess it would be an auxillery power unit to prevent idling...

    Where is a good place for me to purchase a surety bond? The state of Ohio requires I have a $30,000 surety bond to even be on the road.

    Electronic On Board Recorder, like the black box on a plane.
    They are really fond of Cherry Soda's but pour it slowly to let it spread evenly:mlaugh:

    Trying them behind a cars that says JUST MARRIED is good for circulation too. And it really adds to a full rich sound to the cans as you go down the road. Much like an orchestra performance when seeing the music being made is so much more enjoyable....:mcool::mcool::mcool::mcool:

    It is nothing more than an electronic log. You don't need one at this point. You can buy paper logs and do the same thing as an EOBR for a fraction of the money. I can't imagine why Ohio would require a surety bond to drive a class 8 truck. You should only be required to have auto liability insurance if you run your own authoirity. If you are leased to a carrier you will need bobtail insurance.

    EOBR's do a lot more than paper logs and they are nothing like the black box on an airplane .
    An EOBR is constantly giving out data giving your location and speed as well as recording hard braking .
