ELDs and prices

Get an AOBR than you can keep using paper.

 

Them days better be over, we ran hard saving them from the mistakes they made and now WE are paying the price of trying to be the nice one. If they can not plan properly then they better start learning because now we must follow a insane regulation that is about fines and penalties, not really safety.

 

$3,000 for the units we are getting. Omnitracks I believe, they are charging us $50 a month for usage fees. GPS mapping and ELD. I spoke with the family, and now we are planning on leaving the industry and off in another direction. 30 years and this is the straw that broke this driver's back.

 

Buy exempt trucks or drive exempt work.

 

With what there is going to be left, it is best to sit it out for a bit just waiting to take up when it all fails, they are going to try running with massive amount of inexperienced seat warmers who have not been even down the block which is setting up everything for a huge failure. So sit back and wait until the shelves are empty, they are going to be crying to get the experienced old fogeys back... then come back with high prices because inflation is soon coming and it is not our fault, they will blame us but we really have them by the short hairs.

 

The guys that have the exempt trucks are getting them too... GPS baby.

 

I'm not leaving yet, we need to put together a few more dollars to switch industries/occupation. Also need to do a bit of construction on the homestead. So, hopefully by the end of Summer/Fall I'll be finished with this industry. I have never needed a wet nurse out here, and I don't plan on starting now.

 

Not on my GPS. Sorry to disappoint you.
