    Hey OO's, I'm a former OO/Truck driver who's moved on to a career in computers. I'm developing an application for self-employed truckers, with the goal of making your jobs easier. In order to do this, I need to conduct some interviews to find out EXACTLY what you guys would want and need in a program like the one I'm developing. For purposes of privacy, I won't be discussing the details of the program here. If you're interested in interviewing and want to have a say in how this program should work, private message me and we can share some details. Or, just let me know you're interested by posting in this thread, and I will private message you. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and be safe out there.

    Well what ever it is , it's been done.....unless your developing a hack for elogs I don't see how you will make my life easier. But I am pessimist by nature. Good luck with your venture.

    We're here to figure that out. What WOULD make life easier? You say a hack for elogs... while I wouldn't make a program that does that specifically, tools could be made that, inadvertently, could also be used to help individuals hack elogs. Bit Torrent software doesn't steal music for you, but that's how people use it.

    Thanks for the tip. I'm sure you were half joking, but even that is useful to me. If anyone else has some ideas, please private message me. I'd prefer not to talk about it here.

    You need to invent a software that wont connect brokers with owner operators unless the load pays $3.00 min to haul,then after that invent a app that all trucks,old and new willl have to be mandatory like elogs to where the truck wont start until a $3.00 min load hits there computer,then after that make a app that if brokers renig on ther contract for $3.00 a mile the OWNER OPERATOR AUTOMATICALLY GETS A MANDATED $1.50 MILE FOR HALF OF SET MILES,ok ill wake up now :biggrin_25518:
