    He has. He stated that with paper logs he has "flexibility" to stop in the middle of his 14 hours. Unless he is falsifying that log he has no more "flexibility" than with an eobr.
    He is correct that we agree the regs are ridiculous but the fact is thats the fault of the regulation and not the eobr.Where did you come ip with robbing banks? What does that have to do with anything?

    I get that you have a problem with the regs! WE BOTH DO. What does how hos is tracked have to do with it? Unless a paperlog is being falsified theres no more flexibility with a paper log than an eobr. We need to be fighting the inflexibility in the 14 hour rule. Thats where the problem is. If somebody doesnt want to use an eobr more power to them. I have never supported the mandate. I like mine. Its less hassle I have to deal with

    My comment was relevant if you thought about it. Opposing eobrs because another regulation was inflexible? THE EOBR ISNTTHE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM just like water coming into the house isnt the reason the basement is flooded. FIX THE REAL PROBLEM. Get.it now?

    I always did. My posts made that clear. This is a thread about eobrs. My point is if youre following the regs you lose no flexibility by using one. Very simple

    Actually you loose alot of flexability by using eobrs instead of paper but I am not going to sit here and type it all out for you. By the way E-logs just allow guys to falsify logs without getting caught. Read up on this forum and you will see alot of drivers using them are just finding different ways to run illegal. Good night Sir.

    This is a long thread, I wonder without digging back through it, what device is Landstar usimg and how are the parameters set, i.e. how far or how fast can you move and not go on the driveline, and other specifics, like can you work but not drive after the 14 without issues?

    I dont know about landstars paticular system. With the one I uas you can use the personal conveyance as much as you want. As for working after 14 hours theres no.law against that as it is. Perhaps someone with landstar could help more
