Mileage Question

they have been "talking" about EBOR's and E-Logs for YEARS. IF it ever happens it will be a LONG time from now. Most of what you are hearing is CB talk.



And if your local run slow and 100000% legal it dont matter, but OTR only running 10 hours a day so that you dont accidently run to far isnt going to pay the bills of a homeless person!



I can garentee IF it ever happens ALLOT of drivers will walk away from trucking and never look back.

well start looking for that local job I believe the industry is haveing to go that way jan 2012. as far as dot goes with the new regs I want to keep my license and csa score low.

have a lot of respect for you but the difference between 21 and 45 is I KNOW I'm not bullet proof.

 

2012 There is NO WAY 100,000's of O/O are going to spend $1000's on a E-Log system......IT WONT HAPPEN and until the Gov can find a way to make that happen, it aint gonna happen.


My company would not do it either, allot of companies couldnt opperate or AFFORD to install E-Logs.



No one is saying to run 2 log books, but there is a differance from properly logging 15 minutes for loading and logging 5 hours onduty like a dumbaz$ because you think thats illegal.


TRUST me, when you get out in the real world (OTR and Out of VT) you'll see what im talking about.


I log legally, but i dont waste hours just for the fun of it The DOT can look at my log book all they want its 100% legal

If anything i should be more worried then you I have allot more years left to work, your halfway to retirement already

please reread my posts I never argued the fact on how you log it. the OP was asking when hrs were up 5,6 7 days that is the way to save on the 70 DUH!!! but won't help on the 14.

be safe my friend
