    Seems like a lot of sectors are exempt. Has anyone been able to detect any real changes in day to day operations?

    Hauling crude oil and I drive just beyond the 100' exemption so yes, the ELD messed us up. Before I'd stop here and there when I wanted to and then make the 30 minute look good on my paper log. Now I actually have to pull over somewhere and shut the thing down for 31 minutes. All it did was make my day 31 minutes longer.
