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

So many of these arguments sound like the argument a grocery warehouse manager, or a broker would make.
It does make me wonder.
Oh well. It doesn't matter. The ELD is here. It isn't going away. It has been here for about 20 years, it has been proven it is a tool that works. The ELDs that don't work, they will fall by the wayside. The so called "drivers" that can't get on board, they will go by the wayside. The ones that can't figure it out, they will go by the wayside. If you are a professional driver that was following the law before, well, you really shouldn't have a problem doing what you used to do with this new tool. If you do have a problem, well, obviously your claims of following the law were overblown. O.K. Lets call it what it is. You lied. But that really isn't a surprise, since you were lying on those paper logs anyway. LOL.

 

LOL. No, they aren't either.

 

Well, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to be late on a load.
And being late is no excuse for breaking the law.
And I don't know what kind of reputation those other guys you mention had to worry about tarnishing. But if you were breaking the law then the reputation you have is the reputation of being a criminal.
Not saying you did. Not saying anyone you mentioned did. Maybe you're group of guys was just the luckiest bunch of drivers to ever gather at one single company in the history of the world.

 

Im not butt hurt about anything. And if I was shunned by a group of liars and cheats, then it wouldn't bother me one bit.

 

Exactly right. You don't like the ELD mandate, I don't care. Changes nothing in my life. Does not effect my life.
