Smash all competition until the entire country's transportation system is controlled by a handful of people. A practical monopoly like they're achieving with every other aspect of the nation.TurkeyCreekJackJohnson and ‘Olhand Thank this. -
Unfortunately it’s the American greed that is biting this country in the arse. And the one who feels it the most is the working class. American farmers, corporations and companies absolutely love and enjoy cheap foreign labor and everyone knows it. -

Mind-reading bureaucratic intentions from 10 years ago.
Another of The Great myths in trucking is being built on TTR:
"If I can guess why this regulation was implemented, and I disagree, maybe I won't have to comply."
We can add it to "I was ordered by a cop to drive over the illegally parked car".Bean Jr. Thanks this. -

Who has won this war? ELD providers should have but even there, they can be and are decertified at times. Qualcomm has done alright, even other providers use their products and services, and if we look back at who voted it in, their representatives had the easiest sell. The DOT is mixed, from my experience, some love it, others not. A POTUS even pushed for it as a way to reduce the 'onerous paperwork'.
Now, as to who has lost the war, anyone who has been adversely affected, and I have to count myself in that number. Slipseating with those who don't have to use them is a pain, every blanking time, when I have to clear a few days of shag runs before I can even log into it. Last time it was 43 'trips.' Some were live haul runs getting live poultry from growers. I know what the things cost, and I keep track of it anyway, so it literally saves me nothing in time. The other thing was different and multiple devices in the same fleet, some even in the same truck. Having to keep that all straight is not even close to being as straightforward as a logbook staying with the driver.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
If anyone in the world who wants a better life can move to America or Europe we are condemning all other countries to a poor & miserable future.
Do hotel guests get an equal say in making hotel business decisions as the owners & managers?Bean Jr. Thanks this.
