ELDs encourage unsafe driving when uncontrollable delays occur.

You're so cool!!! We know you can do it cheaper too!!!

 

Complain all you want.
Your not sending the rest of us back to the
20 hour work days on paper logs.
For the same amount of money.

 

There was language in the bipartisan infrastructure bill allowing livestock haulers to log Ag exempt in a 150 mile radius on the destination end of the trip also, basically giving them 17 or so hours of drive time. All I heard all fall run from my friends was how they were all short on trucks, couldn’t find trucks. The rates are crap because it’s been two years since anyone has had to run a log book. I know what I make running totally legal and mostly light weight with a dry van and no way I’d go back to running heavy and not sleeping for a couple days at a time for what they’re getting paid now.

 

I have no dog in this fight
But teach me the trick on how to run 20 hrs (legally on 1 book ) with paper logs
Because I've run paper logs for 35+ yrs.. I I have yet to figure out how to do that..god knows I've tried
My answer to your rant is..Learn how to connect the lines & Take a page out of Nancy Regan's play book..Just say NO to long hrs and cheap freight
1 of the reasons I run a 37 yr old truck is I can run paper logs

 

Get rid of HOS all together

 

Just import one of those migrant workers on visa to run team with you. No worries! You can even teach him to read signs, wear proper work apparel, and dispose of piss jugs and crap sacks.

 

Butthurt much?

 

Not one bit, wouldn't even consider going back to paper logs.

 

Don't be stupid,you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm not gonna waste my time explaining it.

Hers the quick answer.
Paper logs means anybody in the supply chain
Can mercifully bend drivers table,
Stealing their time, for free, without any repercussions.
Got it.

2 best things to ever happen in trucking.
ELD'S , and old drivers dying off.
Taking that old, work me to death for nothing mentality with them.
And don't even waste your time telling me you got paid
Dentention every time a customer screwed you at the
Docks for 8 hour.
You'd be lying and you know it.

Why people keep complaining about E-logs is useless.
The never going back to paper, so deal with it.
