    I'm curious, if you don't have your own numbers, where could you run a glider or a pre 2000 truck and not have to deal with elds? Are there companies you can lease onto that allow you to run older trucks/gliders on paper logs or is this now reserved to straight up o.o's with their own numbers & insurance?

    The big guys aren't going to let you do that. Maybe some smaller van or reefer outfit would. I'd say find a cattlehauler outfit they'll go for that.

    Instead of looking for a company that will encourages you to break hos to make any money, why not simply look for a company that pays better?

    Maybe it's a company that pays the same and doesn't go ####### if you push your hours to maximize your pay? You don't get the nice looking rig and decent acreage off sitting around 10 hours a day because" government knows best"

    I am leased to the flatbed division of a very mega megacarrier. They allow pre-1999 trucks to follow the regulations. They are super strict that if we have violations, or turn in logs late, well be on ELD. So far, so good.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    If your talking about my post the company is very strict when it comes to violations and its not cheap freight by any means
