    And in time the word gets out so they find a way to see our way around, so we find a new way. Its a never ending cycle. 2 years ago I was real concerned about the changes and my way of life. Today I realize that it's human nature to survive or find a way so to speak. Yes I'm still concerned, the worse mistake is underestimating the competition.

    You could do like Jimmy the Greek and lay 6 to 5 odds he wouldn't live past 75. He ended up losing the bet.

    I've got 4 trucks. The newest is a 1995, all mechanical.

    How am I supposed to put a speed limiter on to meet the mandate?

    I'm in the same boat. They gave us an exemption on elogs but I can also see that they are gonna push to do away with the old iron. I honestly can't see that being possible but I hate to be naive .......

    They may claim they have it but when I am passed by a truck from Ontario on I94 when I'm doing 73 MPH, I think most of them don't even bother having it set.

    Looks like another MILESTONE REGULATION where the US Government once again clearly outlines what freedoms THEY ALLOW you to have.
