    I don't think accidents are inevitable, I'm just stating that compliance isn't an issue unless something goes wrong.

    Some companies(safety, log auditing, etc) make absolute compliance a big issue. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone participating in this thread.

    I'm not sure if you realize how right you are.

    Look here...

    This is from way back in the early days of TTR. Read post #34 from TurboTrucker, one of our original moderators. I thought that was a chilling testament to the power of the slip-and-fall lawyer.

    There is a name from the past.

    Notice that in 2005, he was already on electronic logs and liked them.

    DDL isn't going to satisfy the electronic logging mandate...

    i don't use DDL. and i'll worry about it IF and WHEN that time comes.

    local wages are finally picking back up to where they were before the recession kicked in.

    Since we only have a few more weeks in the comment period on the published elog regulation, I'd hazard that you'll be required to deal with it sooner than later. So good luck.

    I figure that even if all of the truck drivers commented on it unfavorably, it will still become the rule.
