    ELDs and Holiday Add to Capacity Pressures

    Soo many trucks now no longer are going to be able to lie, run two log books and etc.
    More trucks on elogs = less truck capacity!

    Now more than ever... SAY NO TO CHEAP FREIGHT!!!

    It's bad for the dummies running for cheap driving 15 hours a day that log 9 on paper.

    For those of us that run legal the elog mandate is the best thing ever for rates and freight availability.
    While the elog itself might suck sure but no longer do legal drivers have to complete with someone on paper making stuff up as they go along (unless they are excluded from the mandate).

    The mega-carriers are super happy about this, they can still pay peanuts to their company drivers and pay their lease operators the same low mileage rate, and the carrier makes a lot more!

    On a side note, let’s all take a deep breath and give this a few months to see what the real affects are going to be. Still way to early.

    It's pretty obvious...
    You can't do on elogs what you can do on paper, trucks are more limited in what they can pull off.
    That's a fact, no wait and see needed.

    For the time being, it may be promising. The trucks, the used ones, are cheap too So the rates may attract newcomers, and the capacity may be saturated.
