    I think the message Today is clear. Do your Job, don’t waste time , We really would rather not deal with You at all. Unless You have something I want. Then it’s Thank God for the Trucks ( 5 minutes of praise) Then it’s beep beep whip around right side cut back in almost hitting the Truck, middle finger. Back to normal

    Not that easy anymore. Two eld's isn't a problem. "Mainstream solutions" maybe harder to deal with but even if someone writes/codes thier own eld there will be problems. Problems with accidents or audits.

    It's the licence plate readers and cell phones that log everywhere you go. It's worse than just worring about fuel receipts.

    Yeah, it's still playing th lottery, but the house odds are much higher.

    I was always interested in trucking and when I spoke with former drivers they always mentioned multiple logbooks. I never had any interest in running illegal. It was a huge turnoff to me. I've been driving for a little over 3 months and running out my 70 and resetting is plenty enough work for me.

    If you’re running out of your 70, your screwing up. Unless your running out when you get home.

    If I’m running out of my 70 I’m making money...

    I don’t know who you drive for, and don’t really care, but we aren’t all driving for mega fleets on elogs...

    Its too risky today to run illegal... with all the transgender BS and everyone's feelings getting hurt all it takes is one slip up and you'll be in bubba's lap..
