    Sign me up... I only get 20-30 a day, mostly about the free JC Penny gift card, free oil change coupon, or someone trying to fool me into believing I have compensation coming from some African country. I need something new

    No spam fellas...I'm the creator of this thread...just not fond of ELD mandate and hoping this petition thru change.org has some sort of effect.

    I have to say though, I'm surprised at the amount of support for the mandate...I'm ans O/O, and my guess is that most of those who support the mandate are company drivers....I would support it too if I was a driver I guess...it would be nice to have the option to opt-out.

    I support the mandate from a technology perspective, I am not a company driver, and run paper. I will still run paper after the ELD. The lack of support seems to be coming from folks who for years have been falsifying logs. Instead of changing the rules to some that work, it was easier to have 2 sets of logs. Now that the ELD is here, folks think stopping it will fix the problem, it doesn't. Why not petition to have the HOS Changed? The ELD's can be reprogrammed to accommodate the change. This allows technology to move forward, and folks to operate legally. I am still waiting to see who goes in and tells Congress they falsify their logs today.

    Forget about wasting your time. The Supreme Court has even refused to hear this case. ELDs are coming and we might has well accept it. Your petition will wind up in the trash can.

    I'm sure everyone has their own interest in mind.Ive driven for companies that made bank by pushing drivers to play with the logs.It was with trucks that were neutered and ran slow.
    I'm through driving 16 hrs at 62 mph,for someone elses benefit.
    IF!! I was an o/o I could see your point,as it would benefit me,and my wallet.
    As a lowly company driver, I hope this pushes companies to finally take "our" time seriously,and keep us moving,and legal!!
    MY 2 cents

    No one here claimed to be making 70k on elogs. Not sure where that came from. However, if we are going to have an open and honest discussion about this then please stop making things up.
