Help with ELOGS

most of it is conjecture and BS just go about your business and learn to drive

 

Here is the thing about ELOGS - You cannot manipulate them, like you can with paper logs. The HOS regs will still be the same then ( 12/17), as they are now. You can edit them, but there will always be a "trail" so to speak. Some shippers, brokers and 3PL's are going to require them before they do business with you. It is your basic adapt, overcome or perish scenrio. IMHO.

 

Starting Dec 2017. 2000 model year and newer trucks.

 

You will run the same amount of miles that you are driving now under the Hours of Service Regs. The ELOGS have nothing to do with how you run your truck, it has to do on the method of recording your hours.

 

Nothing changes you can still run same miles and etc. it just records your hrs you can edit everything except drive time

 

Nobody knows really. we'll see.Quit? but where ? Once they are here and for everybody well see how it plays out. Sure they'll be pain in the ### at first. But that's good, Fmcsa and the egg heads who invented them will see how impractical they are. Trucks shut down at exit ramps and drivers refusing to leave walmart dcs and Krogers etc, Salinas will be fun to watch too. Mind my words, The HOS will change by the end of 2017.

 

And I sure hope that some miracle is gonna happen and they will somehow suspend the ruling. But that's wishful thinking. Oida won't be able to overrule it by itself. So in a year now the mess starts for good.
