An honest driver never wins

Hang on driver. Six more months and all these
Outlaw companies and owner/ operators are
Gonna change there ways or disappear.

By this time next year your gonna see a bunch
Of trucks for sale sitting in front yards all over the place.
In the meantime don't take any jobs on paper logs.
You should know there gonna expect you to cheat.
That's just the way it is.

 

I've had to use paper logs a few times in the last year or so when my truck is in the shop and I am in a loaner without Peoplenet. My dispatcher (who drove for 35 years and is very old school) would get all excited and try to run me into the ground. I'd do a 14 hour day, then he would put another load on me that wasn't possible... legally, anyway, and just say "you can make it work, can't you?" Nope. Sorry. Homey don't play that game.
I was on paper logs many years ago and did cheat them. I once drove from Tennessee to Colorado without stopping because it was my home time and I wanted to get back. Would I do it again? Absolutely not. If the company doesn't like that answer then they can pound sand.

 

Well I'm an O/O and run paper logs. Don't cheat because I don't have too, or need to. There are too many repercussions if something were to happen. This is how I support my family. I sure as hell won't jeopardize that

 

Got to find the honest companies. They exist, and they are far more common than you might think.

 

The mandatory elog thing is just there to put a lot of drivers out of business. There is definately a hidden agenda with elogs and the government. I dont know maybe the rich government workers have a lot of tech stocks and theyre in cahoots with the big OTR companies. I mean those otr companies do give the rich government a lot of money in taxes.

 

I'm waiting to see what all the drivers and companies do when they have to run legal, or will they find away around the ELDs or hack. Some say they will just quit or claim someone will find a hack.
