I am the wife of a truck driver, and my husband who has been driving for over forty years and even owned his own Truck, knows all well what it is like out there for truck drivers he comes from a family of truck drivers, and we have a son and son-in-law that are Truckers, not my career choice for them but now they realize how hard the job it can be. I would like to know who makes the rules for our Truck drivers because it sounds like they have no idea what our Truckers go through on the road and what they deal with day to day there is a shortage because of all the changes and rules. Now there is a new change with the log books, ever since the e-logs have come into effect my husband and son have had no job because both my husband and son have a learning disability my son-in-law says for him it is difficult to manage, so my guys just don’t get the e-log program, “this is our thoughts on the E-logs.”A lot of truck drivers who have a learning disability, or who are up in age, or have no idea how to use a computer and have never even turned on one, most of the guys are really getting frustrated already with learning how to do all the steps it takes to get into the program, most of these men have little education for the reason of having to work instead of going to school. Or even with a learning disability. We hear that the E-logs are not even working out for the Truckers in the USA, and now Canada is having the same problem. But no one seems to be saying anything but me and I need help with this problem. What happens when someone gets how many violations and can't understand how or why the e-log gives them one, that's a lot of money all at once to try and pay. The federal law which protects people from discrimination includes the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Human Rights Act. This is important for Truckers' rights to an exemption from the e-logs. Guys that have tried learning the program just can’t get it, it is not their fault there are still a lot of people that need even help with their written tests when it comes time to do them, why does it have to change? Accidents happen no matter what system they use, blaming truck drivers is not fair, everything is so fast pace that no wonder traffic is so bad and things happen.
Our feelings about E-logs now that it is in effect
