OOIDA request 5 year ELD exemption in small trucking companies with a good safety record.

Show me why drivers with exemplary driving records need to be put on an eld even need to do logs.

 

Eld is a big cost burden to small trucking company's

 

If you can't afford $15.00 dollars a month and $150 dollar up front c

If you can't afford $15 a month, you probably shouldn't be in buisness

 

why Do I need a device that costs say $150 and a monthly subscription that’s $15 per month. When I can do the same thing on paper for $1.99 a month?

 

well unfortunately for you and everyone else that continues to resist and deny the fact that this rule will be in affect in less than 30 days. It's gonna happen, I'm sure you never get creative with your paper log, but unfortunately many do, as matter of fact there are companies out there that the only way the make a profit and stay in business is running illegal. The herd will be thinned dramatically.

 

Some people just like taking things laying down.... others will fight. Hats off to those who tried....shame on those who have laid down and taken it.

 

Some of us are realists, I've been doing this going on 22 years, 5 years ago I saw the writing on the wall, and made a decision to either adapt to the changing industry or find another career. I chose to adapt, the initial change to e logs wasn't easy, but not only have I adapted, I thrive. The week ending Monday I will have run 3647 miles, grossed $ 4585.00.

 

I wouldn't use the term "thrive" when describing that scenario. My point being that your terms of thriving is different then mine.....The ELD/HOS apparently makes us equal...and I don't want to be equal.

 

$4585 gross for a week is "thriving"? Interesting. I #### sure don't want to be equal if that's the case..

 

While this figure is terrible..I give you 100%respect for being honest.

Too many liars on TTR, They'd say "Yeah I Grossed $8,294 on 3647 miles....Just tio get a "Whooaa,Man Your good" response

Thanks for your honesty runningman, But I Think on 3600 miles,You should be a bit closer to $5,500 Leased on to someone
