Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

It has been snowing hard here in Eastern Ia for probably 3 hrs, the wind is blowing like heck, and snowing so hard you can't see 50 ft ahead of you! It sucks... thank god no trucking for me tomorrow, just 16 hrs sitting in a dang skidloader pushing snow! Gotta love the midwest!

 

Here is the link WH http://www.expeditersonline.com/tru...oposes_EOBRs_for_all_interstate_carriers.html

They have been discussing this down in the regulations section. It will interesting to see what the outcome will be.

 

It's cold out 6 for a high today and 18 below wind chill, my customer is still closed they work outside so I don't blame them. Thank god I don't live and work in North Dakota. lol

 

Don't some of you guys get an AG exemption at least certain times of the year....just like oilfield exemption???

I've yet to see the program for an EOBR that is smart enough to do any
"Exemption" logging.

It's gonna be a problem if it's mandated and the available systems don't
have the software programs to cover every type of trucking we do.

 

I deal with it every day.......most Law Enforcement types aren't educated
enough to understand all of our exemption.

 

Will be really hard on small companies
