ford 7.3 engine and E-logs

In a sense, its true. Implied consent. Your contracting your rights away. Same is true for a non CDL Class A licenses which are still commercial in nature. I don't understand why we need a drivers license to drive a little honda civic around, or a motorcycle endorsement to scoot a harley around. But that's my libertarian mindset clashing with the mind numbingly stupid society that we all live in today. The constant erosion of basic human rights. The delicate balance of self governance versus trading liberty for security.

If you call your local Department of Revenue and ask them, "Is driving a right or a privilege?" They will tell you flat out driving is a privilege and not a right. If you ask them if traveling by the means of personal conveyance is a right or a privilege, things get a little interesting. I wish we all understood we have the right to travel, we do need regulation to govern safe commerce, but a balance must be maintained. Complacency and Apathy only lead to Dependency and Bondage.

But, things get a little grey when the majority don't understand the true legal meaning of words and then we all wind up having to go get a quasi commercial drivers license when were sixteen to drive, err I mean travel around.

Think about it. Did we need horse licenses back in the day before the motor vehicle? And cars came before the license. We as humans traded liberty for security when cars started hitting the roads. It's a slippery slope.

Interesting fact from Wiki

Karl Benz, inventor of the modern automobile, had to receive written permission from the Grand Ducal authorities to operate his car on public roads in 1888 after residents complained about the noise and smell of his Motorwagen.[1] Up until the start of the 20th century, European authorities issued licenses to drive motor vehicles similarly ad hoc, if at all.[1]

The first mandatory license requirement for driving was introduced in the Motor Car Act 1903 in the United Kingdom. Every car owner had to register his automobile with his local government authority and be able to prove registration of his vehicle on request. The minimum qualifying age was set at 17. The license gave its holder 'freedom of the road' with a maximum 20 mph (32 km/h) speed limit.[2] Compulsory testing was introduced in 1934, with the passing of the Road Traffic Act.[3]

 

I had to do paper logs for a week. Hated it. Trying to fit 30 stops in that little area and if I am sloppy I can get a ticket. Level ones are no problem with elogs. Never even had them check my elogs because there's no way to cheat.

 

I got my degree in criminology from a private Catholic school named DePaul University. When it pertains to matters of the law, I know more than you

 

You made my day. All these years of doing paper logs and only 2 falsification tickets back when I was young and dumb, otherwise lots of compliments. I feel I have achieved something now LOL

 

If that's the case what are you doing among truck drivers? Shouldn't you be looking for a priest to sue or something?

 

I think I would be on the phone with DePaul looking for a refund
