What's the plan for compliance come December? I hope your company isn't planning on installing e-logs at the last minute. My company started the transition, with a wide variety of owner operator trucks. Many trucks can't log properly until the device supplier sends a new update. My device can't read my ECM. Right now I am using e-logs "for training purposes only" and will not certify my e-logs until it can automatically record driving time. I stay on paper logs and certify only paper, while mirroring my e-logs as close as possible.

Staying on paper until the last minute is likely going to be a fiasco.

There's still people out there who think it will be repealed before December.

Those guys are going to have a really tough time.

I have often said that flatbed is an attitude.

Wow! I somehow missed this thread. Congrats! The best thing I ever did was go flatbed right out the gate. I had been around local refer deliveries all my life in some form. When I decided to buy my own truck and trailer I knew it would be flatbed or nothing. After 2 years you couldn't get me to pull a box!!! At 1.5 years the securement and tarping got perty quick now. The first year was a struggle but always felt accomplished once done and rolling down the road. The coustemers seem WAY better in flatbed too as a rule.

You must have never been to Arzee Building Supply in East Brunswick, NJ. Most ignorant bunch of people I've ever met in my life, much like the rest of the state of NJ.
