I think ELDs are Unconstitutional

Absolutely right, but the outlaw truckers are sick with greed and will never believe that concept. It's time for the to retire and get off the roads!

 

What people need to learn is loads should no be so tight on time that getting in a traffic jam should not make a load late. That's what the ELD will show, just how little extra time drivers don't have.

They will now be forced to give drivers more time to finish the run, even if their is a traffic jam. Drivers and running legal will now become first priority. The way it should be !

 

Problem is, a lot of the issues you and others will try and blame on eLogs and HOS rules will ultimately be the result of poor trip planning and time management on the driver's part and could have been avoided altogether. So, it's a two-way street. Frankly, some drivers just don't have sufficient grey matter to know how to fully manage their time and their HOS clock throughout a trip with appointments at both ends, especially with longer trips.

So it's often a matter of poor time management and/or a driver refusing to drive all available hours allowed them in a given day. If a load requires 4 days of 10.5 hours driving at 63 mph each day, and the driver started with plenty of hours, then that's what it requires. If the driver only wants to drive 9.5 hours each day, the load is going to be late. And that's an HOS rules or eLog's fault?

 

It is my understanding that the right to not incriminating yourself only exists in a court when you are on trial and only applies to your verbal testimony.

 

So, you falsify your logs. If a driver will be near Atlanta, extra time needs to be added to ETA and extra drive time figured in when trip planning.

Exactly there is not that many people killed by trucks every year for how many trucks there are running the roads.

 

Elogs or going to encourage speeding and I mean real speeding not 8 or 10 over the limit

 

Really you ever pull in Tulsa about 930 at night I think there's 3 truckstops in that whole city there's nowhere to park and it's gonna get worse
