    But he’s not compliant. It’s not difficult. You are required to have instructions. Driver did not. Doesn’t matter if he or you thinks it’s a Mickey Mouse rule. It’s a rule and he broke it. God I hate when people refuse to accept reality and want to blame others or complain. He messed up. Pay up and move on like an adult.

    Love the mentality that it’s a “got ya” ticket for not being able to produce an item required by law.

    Don’t you also have to have a paper book on the ready but also a written plan on what to do when the ELD malfunctions?

    Edit: oh, maybe that’s what you are talking about? I assumed it was instructions on how to use the ELD.

    Incorrect. They CHOOSE to enforce DOT laws, they CHOOSE to ignore or refuse to enforce immigration laws, both are federal laws. It's all about the MONEY, perhaps we can pass laws they can sell illegals for slaves then they would enforce immigration laws.

    Through sponsorship and partnership of the ATA all of the Mega carriers create an illusion of driver shortage. But then they legislate and regulate experienced and non experienced drivers out for monetary reasons. It's all about the money.I would have pulled those instructions up on a app on my phone and handed it to him.
