    Being a safe driver will make you a safe driver. Being an unsafe driver with e-logs will make you an unsafe driver with e-logs.

    "Safe" is the 21st century synonym of STUPID. When something is touted as being "safe", that means it was designed for you to not have to THINK.

    Use it or lose it.

    It was written by omnitracs , no slant or ulterior motive whatsoever . It's the best thing since slice bread . You'll lose weight , your hair will grow back , but remember to see a doctor if your erection lasts more then 4 hours.

    This is 100% true.

    I wonder what them Egyptians would have said when papyrus was introduced...transitioning from Pergamum and parchment? A few of them said: "I will stop writing if they use this new fancy tech, called papyrus"...and guess what? the world moved on without them. LMAO

    ELD is simply a data/info capture device. Physical paper log is the same exact thing i.e. data/info capture device.

    Please enlighten this dumb truck driver, how is or how can Elog contribute to my safety??? I can see how a seat belt might or "jake brake" and maybe a set of running lights, but pray tell me how will the installation of a device that will track my hours make me "safer"? I just do not see it.
     
    AfterShock and Lepton1 Thank this.
