Why CSA 2010 and E-Logs are a good thing.

actually yes

i want them free to make choices, not live like mindless robots that submit to whatever authority tells them, authorities have a history of being wrong, so do majorities

so each man has his own rules he must follow in life, thats what makes him a man and not a robot

i guess we have very different approaches to life, and driving

 

Certainly seems that way.

 

That is the problem. People have been getting hurt and killed by those that don't know when to quit.

 

i wonder what are the statistics on elog driver's accidents due to fatigue

 

i thought about your response reading this about OOIDA fighting against the state of Minnesota regarding them putting drivers out of service due to fatigue

OOIDA has been fighting for YOUR right to not submit to these outrageous laws, but i guess if these laws pass, you will gladly comply (getting rid of your TV, magazines, etc)

 

I don't drive a truck, so doesn't matter to me. If those are the regs I'll do my part to enforce them to protect my company.

 

I will listen to what you have to say the day you get back to me with stats showing drivers runnin paper logs cause/involved in more wrecks than the guy running E-logs. Guess I won't be hearing back from you.

 

This right here is one bad thing on this discussion. The office people don't care since they don't drive. The drivers are the ones getting screwed.

 

Maybe you and the all the office people should drive a few in our shoes and learn a little something about truckin.

 

I feel your pain, and I'd probably ask the safety director if I could write a proposal stating our disagreement with it. However that became legislation I would do everything in my power to ensure we were running compliant. I don't have to agree with every regulation on the book, but if they're going to cause service failures and jeopardize the companies future then I'll do what I can to ensure compliance.
