    Thats wrong. The megas dont care about csa points. They will just cut a driver loose and get a new one. Try again

    All drivers against ELDs, all you have do it charge more money. Charge more per mile and detention pay. That way you can run legal and still make money !

    We know the problem is they don't want to pay more. They want the some old pay but the ELDs are going to force this problem to the front. All the driver that would not stand up for themselves or the HOS now have no choice.

    People can't afford to sit all day at Sysco or US Foods for free. They will have to pay detention pay or more per mile or get the truck unloaded fast.

    Thank you!

    Dont run cheap freight!

    But all the cry babies have been, just running twice as hard to make more. But now they cant, and their mad that they will lose money...

    He runs the same equipment every day, so he can do that.
    If nobody ran his truck overnight like in a slip seat operation there is little, if anything, on it that will change overnight.
