    That’s true you can see it.. these companies have a endless supply of drivers if they can’t hire fast enough they broker to the independent contractor. They positioned themselves in such a way that soon enough they will price the smaller companies out.

    But then like we all know the insurance industry also plays a hand in this.. also
    When will people figure these companies will order new trucks and if they can’t or choose not to seat them they lease them out. You’ll live like a company driver with a hole in your pocket when you take off. Drivers need to unionize and have panels to monitor the union. In 2018 all drivers who feel the same within a company should get enough to have a secret ballot. Let’s all get the union in these companies.

    yep. the company drivers on ELD are now the manly men out there. real men toe the line.

    i hear the movie Convoy is getting remade. this time they're gonna cast Justin Bieber as the ELD watchin' rubber duck. they said Bieber really catches the essence of this new manly eld watcher.

    the eld pom wavers probably still think obamacare was written to lower premiums and enhance health care....

    Elogs don't tell you when your tired.
    They just show you when your legal and when your not. By the way I actually did hit the nail on the head lol.

    Sadly some folks do need that kind of direction if/when they've become overly infected with that disease called GREED.

    So what’s the purpose of being legal? HOS rules are supposedly there to prevent fatigue.

    From your link: "excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions"

    Who gets to decide what is "excessive"?
