Now that I'm at my home PC I can elaborate more Again, a 500 mile trip can easily be done in one drive shift. I drove with a elog and without...
What, so you don't think there's a 80 mph speed limit? I take it you never drove in Texas or Utah. I-15 just north of St George Utah had a 80mph...
The chances of both steers blowing are nil. In all the years I've been driving both for pleasure and business, I never lost more than one tire at...
Did you spend all 17 hours on line 4? I fail to see how you can run out of hours. 17 hours is plenty of time to squeeze a 10 hour break in. Also,...
I don't see why people push elogs so much. They aren't the solution to a choice the driver makes. A driver that runs illegally on paper will do so...
It's a added expense that isn't needed. A EOBR mandate will NOT resolve the problem at hand. The removal of the driver is the only solution. It's...
A mandate also has the potential to bankrupt some of the smaller carriers and O/O's. Not just the removal of the option to run illegally but the...

I reckon that even with a class B truck, you still should have been logging, since you were outside of the 100nm radius. It doesn't have to be a...
Yes. When a log is edited with a EOBR, the driver still has to approve the logs. Otherwise the logs aren't a legal document.
*opps, wrong thread.
Many students make 20k and under for their first few years. I'm not saying 40k isn't realistic, but a very hard goal to accomplish. However, if...

You're in a congested area in lane #2. You flash a truck over in lane #3. The 4-wheeler that passed you in lane #1 merged into lane #2 before the...
I never flash another driver over, and for a few reasons. * Drivers don't know how to 'thank' another driver. If your truck doesn't have a marker...
