I got my CDL in 2007, I'm enough of a veteran to know how to do things like read an atlas and plan a route. I also started on paper logs. I never had a problem with making a plan (including a contingency) and sticking to it. the reasons and excuses I hear downing Elogs usually comes back to "you can't cheat them". I always ran legal, didn't pencil whip my log, only time crunches I got into was when a shipper or receiver held me up or a dispatcher left me sitting. Elog really didn't change much for me. I've never been late because of things I could control.Number9 and bryan21384 Thank this. -
taking a 30 in the fuel lane is just lazy and disrespectful to all of us.Tonythetruckerdude, Deere hunter, Number9 and 2 others Thank this. -
on paper; you have the same problem and the same rules to follow. Some drivers upset because they think cheating the system should be a right. what good are the rules if nobody follows them. -

Well, the e-logs (blanket term for ELD's and AOBRD's) definitely reduced the number of form and manner violations. Poor bears have to get real creative in finding ways to take care of our $$$afety.

Bottom line is, that if it's a major disaster situation, your day is ruined anyway. If it's minor, you have tools to make up for it. If you're getting jerked around by shippers/receivers, talk to your dispatcher. If they don't go to bat for you, there are plenty of companies out there that will.
