Canada to Mandate ELD for 2020

We should adopt European HOS and limit driving to 9 hours or get real progressive and cut us back to 8.

 

The problem has always been the HOS. The ELD is merely a means the DOT/MOT can finally enforce it. Gone are the days of the supertrucker pulling a 1000 mile shift. Either adapt or get out.

 

Yeah don't you dare even consider driving a couple extra hours to stay in front of that monster winter storm coming up behind you. You are tired when I say God ###### !

 

There you go again thinking you can make decisions responsibly!

 

I'm reminded of our provincial govt's purchase of the Phoenix payroll system. There are plenty of threads of failing elog systems. Excellent time for DOT to take drivers to the cleaners!
My crayon has never failed me!

 

Makes no difference to me. I hate paperwork.

 

Just a heads up.. Dec 18 2017 USA is on eld 's . if you run south out of Canada you too must be on eld. there is no soft enforcement. no eld , get a ticket .

 

Problem here being the HOS, not the ELD. If they didn't enforce bad rules, people wouldn't be complaining at all. They would actually be praising them because of how easy they make keeping track of your available hours.

 

Me either. I don't miss the paperwork at all.
