Finally got my own truck

Do they have oem filters or is it all aftermarket?

 

Just make sure they're good filters."Bargain" filters can really cost you in the long run.

Im 9 months. Congrats!!!

 

You want to be there for those two weeks dude. When you're still young and up-and-coming chaos is a ladder for sure.

 

I know I'll be there with my paper-logs. I just need a trailer now....hehehe

 

You'll have a hard time getting loaded with them. Every shipper I work with has a no-paper-logs policy for the day after the mandate goes into force. They all think *probably correctly* that trucks on paper logs are going to be HUGE liabilities with DOT going forward. I'm sure they will back off if DOT doesn't go out and make too much of a hassle, but nobody wants to volunteer for a shipment to be late.

 

What shipper is going to take the time to check a truck for a ELD??? I can see where it may be in the fine print of a brokers agreement.

Official policy will exist to inoculate the shippers against hassles from the government as always. But I think that in the immediate aftermath they will be checking. It'll pass within a week or three but they will probably check until it becomes a pain in the butt.
