    So you feel taking a 10 hour break is "This is my job, I'm not out here to sit in a truck stop whittling the hours away jerking off to porn in the sleeper. I'm out here to work"?

    and this
    "Well, that was a twenty hour day, and I was fine. 40 mile turns, very fast loading and unloading on both ends. That is what we do on a routine basis at the company I am leased to."

    I don't want to share the road with anyone that's been awake 24 hours.
    Bring on the elogs.

    Or let's talk about the way CSA is slanted in favor of the mega carriers. Hey, I get it, do what you got to do to survive. Still doesn't mean I won't have a solid opinion on the matter.

    Elogs does nothing to prevent that.

    The point is, your cheerleading a non truck drivers perspective on truck driving.

    Of course the land needs SOME law and order or we would be like the westerns played on TV.
     
    W9onTime Thanks this.

    At least it accurately records the violations.

    It does not and cannot record violations of the most important rule and the one you seem concerned with.
    §392.3 Ill or fatigued operator...

    OR,,,,, you could be a trucker that has seen the hand writing on the wall and chooses to MAKE it work rather than pouting in the corner like a 3 year old that had his blanky taken away?
