    I’ll put it where you can catch it..
    All of the supposed paper outlaws that would leave when their rested etc. will now sit the 8-10 hrs or more..so you cheerleaders can’t park and take your break and sweating that clock... and if they are running late (outlaw)s they will be late now... and I hope you’re appointment time goes out the window when they show up late.

    Point is if I want to run paper logs I should be able too. My comments don’t have to make sense to most on this site. But I tell you what if you look at the average driver nowadays they graduated from the fries. I’m smart enough to realize this industry and politicians don’t care for us at all. How come driver pay regularly don’t even break minimum wage for all you put in time wise. How come a lot of owner operators work for less than company driver pay. The average pay in this business is still on the low side industry wide.

    Do some research. Werner wss the first to implement them, but they didn't force them on everyone else. Werner is a piss ant pea pod carrier compared to the other majors. Heck the entire ata is just a minor player in Washington.

    Politicians care about one thing: votes to stay in office. That's what opens up all the doors to the money and power that comes with staying in office. The ata doesn't have a large voting block. Highway safety groups have millions of votes with all the soccer moms and retired grandmas in them. Rv clubs, the aarp, aaa, mothers against tired truckers, etc etc etc join forces when it comes to hours of service regulations in Washington.

    Yet Werner developed and patented the software. And still gets royalties I'd think.
