    No one is being rude. What it does is clutter-up the database, and that slows the response for everyone.

    The most likely implementation of an EOBR that you will encounter is the deal known as "elogs" - and it is integrated with a GPS transceiver.

    And to muddy the waters further, the FMCSA wants them to be called ELD's now... Electronic Logging Device. They seem to think the name change will soften the blow a little when they put out their mandate proposal this fall.

    The units plug into the truck ECM. While a driver logs in for his HOS the units constantly track the truck. Safety gets an alert if the truck moves without a driver logged in.

    It is government. Change the name and maybe people will not realize it is the same.

    In this case, maybe change the name and get funding from the ill informed.

    Me thinks it's both... It helps educate the Low Information Crowd understand their money is going to new ways, new things progressing towards a fundamental change. :biggrin_25523:
