In two days, if you get pulled over without an ELD, you'll be fined, get CSA Points, and lose 10 hrs

But what if I or my truck is exempt from the ELD requirement? What then?

 

I'll be darned, I thought I read somewhere that older trucks were exempt. That an extension on the transportation of agricultural products was extended also but I cant be sure

 

99 and older trucks are exempt as are glider kits equipped with pre 2000 engines my 2001 classic which has a build date of late 99 must have sat at factory for a while as sales were so bad back then every one including myself were buying repos only thing I can figure my Detroit 12.7 has a build of oct 1998 and it’s original to my 2001 titled so as far as I’m concerned Im exempt and I keep a copy of the law directly from DNC’s a website stipulation reads company must keep record of vehicle engine info on file

 

Fmcsa not dnc!!! #### spellcheck

 

CSA points huh?

Let's paint a picture here........

"Lets check out the safety score of xyz trucking before we use them "

"Wow,Look...He has points from a ticket he got for not having an ELD But having paper logs"

"I think we'll use him...He'll get the job done correctly"

 

New Mexico port between Dalhart and Tucumcari asked me what kind of eLog unit I was running a few days ago. That's a new move.

 

Even though I run paper logs, I just read your posts and just cringe. You just think that you are so special because you run a paperlog. You probably run an old truck and think it makes you a bad###. Get over yourself

 

I run a old truck, it doesn’t make me a bad ### it makes me money.
