    That's kind of a bad argument or excuse.
    I would be willing to bet that those people don't know how to properly operate the Elog Device.

    Six months more? What fortunate driver had that? My trainer had just finished his training 3 days before I got on the truck.

    But I think the general consensus is correct: there's not enough pride and consideration for others - and that extends well beyond just the trucking industry.

    EOBR's creating a new breed, no. For the new generation that will use any excuse for being lazy it does seem a blessing though.

    That's right . The "new breed " was here before EOBR's . They probably welcome EOBR's so they can find excuses to park .

    Even the "new breed" doesn't get paid unless the wheels are turning Rick.

    It might be true in some cases, but I see alot of guys who drive fast in lots and park wherever they want who dont even have EOBR's.

    Excuse me for sounding stupid, but why do they drive fast in the lots? If 5 minutes is going to make a difference your doing it wrong.

    Yes , but many of the new breed get tired after 7 hours of driving . They also need 1 hour lunch breaks .
     
    striker and Red Hot Mess Thank this.
