    That’s another example of government over reach. Grandfather was a commercial fisherman. In the winter he cut blocks of ice from the lake and hauled them into the ice house and packed the blocks in sawdust from the mill. that ice lasted all summer and his fish never spoiled due to rotating power outages. Who is the govt to tell a man how to cool his food? Communists can’t tax lake ice but they can tax electricity.

    I’m happy you’re happy. Did you buy the elog? Does the company deduct the monthly cost from your check? Has the DOT asked to see your logs yet? Who provided the old logs? Everyone here in the real world (non internet) that I’ve talked to is running parallel paper because the elog craps out so often...where’s the savings there?

    I've had multiple late deliveries arriving, due to elog not working. Driver shows up hours late, and says he went in to work, started truck, but could not leave due to elog not "booting up" properly.

    I have been inspected with elog and not once they checked my HOS status. Even if they want to see my logs it takes 30 seconds to pull them up or email them. My Elog works fine. I got it for free from the company I lease to and it’s costing me 30 $ a month ( tax deductible). Like someone said earlier, you are being tracked even if you run paperlogs. And FYI elog mandate is being enforced in Republican controled White House, House and Senate.

    Oh man, no way lol. I don't drive very often, and we use mostly outside carriers for incoming products to our warehouse. It has been a zoo. Those things fail a lot.
