Supreme Court Upholds ELD Mandate

Jeepers,,,did not see that coming. Next they will adopt the European HOS,,,9 hours drive time.

 

Stop the trucks for two weeks, then they will realize.

 

I refuse to cooperate. Turning my keys in. Yet another viable profession ruined by meddling government

 

Anyone hear the 'jazz' that UPS is gonna be exempted?!? Or is that just "hype?"

 

A whole lot of truck stop counter rumor.
Yes UPS did put in for an exemption, but not to not use the ELD. They want a few clarifications and a time exemption. 1. They want more time to install the ELDs. 2 and 3. They want to have a new status called "Yard Move" so as not to use drive time and to allow non-driver to move the truck As per the FMCSA guidance, yard work is On-Duty Driving, not simply On-Duty. 4. Lastly something about how when one logs out it records location, which would be a union contract violation somehow.
They have not been approved, or rejected yet.

You can read about it here . UPS seeks exemption from certain ELD mandate provisions

 

More freight for us. Thanks

 

There should not be any exemptions for anyone at all.
What's good for one is good for all.
If a certain rule just dosent work or make sense then change the rule for everyone not just a select few.

 

I'm sorry for you sir... Yeah... government ruins everything... Trucking has been changing quite a lot very quickly in the last few years... with all the new technology... It will never be the same in the near future...

 

I wonder when mechanics, dock workers, and all those other jobs are gonna fight the government when they finally have time clocks to punch just like us.
Haha
