ELD, the best thing to happen to the industry since the 3406B

Why not? Please explain

The Old Hands are the ones that sacrificed so much and gave their time to people-
Something the new Gens Will Never understand.

The Old Hands made sharing the road with other motorists and satisfying experience- The newer Hands make people Nervous.

The Old Hands communicate, Have Conversation,Give advice.....

So Again, The Old Hands are what?

 

With the mentality of yours, it wouldn't matter what kinda freight you pull. You're the type to bring low morale anywhere you go and in anything you do.

ELD is a joke. There's so many technical issues With Them right now, alot of people, companies and DOT can't even keep them straight and figure them out.

Tell me how that helps the industry? Righttt...It doesn't.

 

Actually it does, with respect to the issue that ELDs are changing the game according to your original post with regards to efficiency. It’s just not the case. Shippers and receivers do not care about how long the freight sits, or hold you up, unless it is time sensitive product.

When a landmark court case establishes precedent and they use ELDs to remove liability from a trucking company or enforce detention time, then this might be the case. Otherwise, a trucking company has very little recourse besides filing on a broker’s bond or cancelling a load and deadheading.

There have been a lot of companies on Elogs for years, it’s a small ripple. I don’t have an issue with the HOS, except for the unnecessary 30 break.

 

Ahh the old dinosaur is mad.
Can't cheat on the logs anymore and work 20 hour days
Anymore and get paid for 10.

It is what it is. Paper logs allow anybody in the trucking
Chain to screw up without any responsibility.
Then just dump it off on some idiot truck driver
Who breaks all the rules and takes all risks.
And he won't get a penny more for doing it.

We've all been on paper logs. I've done it.
Most everyone on here has done it.
We know exactly what goes on.
Everybody in this industry knows what goes on
With paper logs.

Can't handle the ELD, turn in your keys and go home.
