Do you feel elogs should be mandatory or optional?

...yup, just what we need!



Oilfield work has it's own set of HOS exemptions, so an EOBR isn't going to change what you think you saw....and the dispatchers pushing drivers to utilize every second of their available HOS with an EOBR is precisely the "driver harassment" issue which caused the "bad actor" rule to be tossed out by the court. Dispatches ability to "alter" the driver's log book for him is yet another reason against EOBR's....logs are SUPPOSED to be completed by the driver, because they are the driver's log of his activities during the day. Dispatch doesn't have a friggin clue what the driver did or when they did it, so it ought to be ILLEGAL for the dispatcher (or anyone else in the office) to make any "corrections" to the log submitted by the driver...just like it is illegal for the office staff to alter a paper log submitted by a driver. ANY edits ought to have to be made exclusively by the driver.

 

ROTFLMFAO!!!! Started watching the movie and the VERY FIRST ad at the bottom of the screen was for "GPS Vehicle Tracking"

 

we were required to read the novel, write a 5 page report on it, then watch the entire movie.


And the year I did that, 1984.

 

The Goverment was origionally never designed to make business decisions. They walk a fine line these days makeing people belive the Goverment has "saftey" in your best intrest when all its become is a money grab, makeing what ultimately are business decisions, useing Interstate commerce.

The sad part of all the new laws and regulations, the business owners have almost no say anymore. I live in California where CARB has more say then the EPA. I would have to belive most people in this industrie would agree somethings wrong with our Goverment when a state can dictate how the trucking industrie is ran over the whole U.S.

EOBR mandate is a joke, period. Its just a example of "our" Goverment takeing "we the people" away from the people once again all in the name of "saftey" for a big fat money grab.

 

Current driver or former driver that is a moot point, all of us are entitled to our views on a issue that matters to everyone.

 

I believe you are on the fringe, a very thin fringe.

 

It's a politically charged subject. One side is trying to feed the line of crap that it's being done under the quise of safety, another is doing it for legality of HOS.

And if you are against either, suddenly, you make the topic political because you bring up the fact it violates constitutional rights.

 

Please, no more political comments.

 

then move it to politics....

Because when the legislators are looking to mandate it with law, it becomes a political topic.

OOIDA did very well getting a court case to acknowledge that it violates peoples rights. HOS are a fringe to it and feed the subject as well.

just because politics and the fact that we are facing this getting stuffed down our throats in a legal mandate, doesn't make it a political subject that has to be stuffed into a box that gets it ignored.

It shows that people are afraid of address a topic that needs to be held out front and forced to be dealt with.
