First week on eld

Seems like a play on words to me. We are forced to do thing we don't want for some jobs if we want them. Like having ELDs put in trucks, it not a new HOS law it just a different way to track HOS and more difficult to cheat. Then drivers want to claim it encroachment on some right or privacy. When it's only the same information we are required to put on paper logs.

 

I looked at my old log book , it didn't have a cord attached to my data port , you must have had a newer log book then me , LOL
My paper log couldn't monitor everything and everywhere I did and have been all day .
But you keep posting the same post over and over again , lol
Do you get a dime every time you use those very words "it's the same thing " you just can't cheat , you dastardly outlaw you , man move the needle the record is skipping

 

All the incidental stuff we do during a normal day... And then on those days you run a quick load first thing in the morning and go park... Rest and catch a nap... And go run another... Now, that other load is not going to happen. Even though you are plenty rested... Lost two loads like that already. Figure $800 net off the top. These were less than 60 mile runs. Not happy... Do that weekly. Why am I out here?

 

I think HOS rules are encroachment. ELD just go few steps further.

 

the ever reaching hand of government.....some are wary of it,others welcome it.

 

oh,btw.....the more the FMCSA screws around,the more people get hurt too. hooray encroachment!!

Large Truck and Bus Crash Facts 2015

 

In the sixties and seventies that action would seem normal if you were in a communist country. I know times have changed and a lot of drivers were not on the planet back then. Those of us around at that time saw this country go to the moon using a slide rule. The education system teaches everything except reading, writing, and arithmetic. Using a credit card when I go to pay for food is easier than giving cash, as you have experienced cashiers have difficulty making change for cash. Little by little they will take your rights away, I heard this long ago but could not believe it. With J.F.K. at the helm, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Now a days it’s what this politician will give me is who I vote for. And it is this mind set that fuels Nikita Khrushchev’s idea that Communism will take America without firing a shot. They are encroaching on our rights more and more everyday. If you are not going to do something about it who is?

 

lol

 

You not forced to.
