    WM, that would make too much sense, since we pay their salaries.

    I'm thinking that the EOBR thing will shut this country down, if the O/O's decide that they are parking their trucks in light of the Mandatory thing.

    The big companies cannot possibly move enough freight to keep up, should the O/O's decide enough is enough.

    I certainly hope that the O/O's are calling their representatives and letting them know that if they let this pass, they will not get their votes next time around.

    Its imperative that we all voice our opinion on this to our reps.

    We all need to take the time to show them that there are MULTIPLE people that do not agree with this line of thinking and that they will not stand for it.

    I guess I should have said they really do not do anything that qualifies as productive work.

    They sit on their rears and discuss things to make rules. It has been this way for years. They are looking for revenue items, under the guise of safety.

    With the EOBR, it is something that has been caused by the way the companies have been forcing drivers to run and many outlaw truckers.

    The problem with the tracking thought is that most would reflect only bars and food places.

    The problem is to many small companys and o/o's are to spineless and just go along with what is required, just look on this board at all the people that think the EOBR are a good idea. I will not put one on my truck and will run untill they shut me down, period.
