ELDs are going to get people hurt/killed

You know guys I have something harsh to say so if you are offended by it too bad.

If you guys try to beat the clock by being an idiot and speeding, then you are giving in.

Let the clock run out, don't budge on the issues with the eld and your drive time and force the company/broker/shipper to adjust the time for a safe trip, there is no freight that has to be there yesterday.

I will repeat this --->>you speed around like a fool, they won.

Those who think eld will solve the safety issue will think that they were right in forcing it onto the industry. Those safety idiots will think they were right when they show the uptick in accidents trying to get people to conform and demand more draconian regulations. And those in congress will applaud those at the fmcsa for getting it right this time.

So learn how to say no, it won't work and stand firm because the more push back, the faster we will get this crap fixed so it works for all of us.

 

They went out the door when government decided to tell us how many hours we could drive in a day and a week that's what happened

 

And you don't know enough to get confused? If they have to pay me more to haul crap they're going to make it up somewhere not just say oh guess we have to make less now

 

So...you're saying that after they started the HOS reg's back in the 30's, that's when it all went to Hell..I see...so, you've been driving 80+ years? Or....

 

Really they had HOS in the 30s? But yes I would much rather they just let us decide when we're tired and need to sleep and would base your safety ratings off of actual accidents and not some piece of paper not filled out right

 

Good grief they nearly had HOS for horses and wagons

 

Obviously you are very new to the industry if you think hos is a relatively new thing.

 

I thought it was a 60s invention I wouldn't call that a very new thing I guess
