    I guess I need to do it since I cannot fuel up at any truckstop without someone walking up to me asking if I am an owner op. Then they are surprised and ask if that is my truck. Then they look surprised again and say "oh, you must lease it?" Nope, its mine buddy bought it. They reply "Wow! What a beautiful truck how much do you pay per month?!" I rather stick the OOIDA sticker on it to answer half of their questions.

    Just master the 1000 mile stare, and maybe use the back of an axe to thump your tires. They probably won't ask anything.

    I wonder if we as a collective will ever learn that the problem isn't the Elog, IT IS THE HOS!!!!!.

    Wanting paper, or hating on the Elog just self incriminate us by admitting we want to cheat!
    Specially when the issue of wanting flexibility and more hours to work as you please!!! Those are Hours of Service issues and not Elog issues. Elog is just enforcing the HOS!!!.

    Now, if you told me you hated Elogs because of the added cost, loss of privacy etc. Then, yes, the Elogs suck, but they also have their "convenient" time saving pluses...

    For the love of everything you hold dears drivers. Let's come to agreement in one single thing. The Problem is, and always has been.

    The Hours Of Service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you. Carry on.

    Became a member last year. I've been waiting on deciding where to put them. Maybe I should put them on Ebay and see how much I can get.
