ELD rec. for a small fleet in leu of Highway's new rule?

So you're giving outside parties access to your ELD data?

 

F'em, there are other ways to track. The only way they'll learn is for everyone to say no to this. Why would anybody give access to their ELD. In fact the ELD manufacturers shouldn't even offer that.

 

Why on the gods' green earth would you agree to something like that? Are you charging them for the privilege of knowing such sensitive data? Being able to track your equipment in real time is priceless. Nobody gives that out. Not FedEx, not UPS, not USPS, not DHL...nobody. If they did offer such a service I assure you they would charge dearly for it.

I haven't heard that Highway bought RMIS. Either way there are plenty of brokers that don't use either service. Also, the brokers you've listed that are pushing that nonsense are not worth dealing with anyway. If you're a legitimate carrier they have plenty of ways to get you set up and still avoid double brokering scumbags

 

If they get enough fools to fall for this type of tracking they'll know almost exactly how many trucks are in a region and set the rate accordingly. They say the tracking stops when the load is completed....or does it?

 

Stand for something or fall for anything . Privacy is worth standing for.

 

Brokers can override that requirement, but don't want to do it, because it benefits them.
Only when the market turns in truckers favor they will start waving those BS requirements in order to book a truck

 

So what y'all saying is it's not worth hauling freight these days with this new thing?

 

You know, y'all could get your own customers...
