    Security of what? Drivers are developing terroristic mindset after being aggravated with rushing and outrunning the clock all the time?)

    Could be hacked, and guess what? Some claim to have done just that.

    Hack to take off a couple of min off 70. Just add some drive time. On mass scales may go unnoticed and hurt economy. Disable proper function of display gauges on truck and confuse the power train control module on tractor by changing the data bus the eld is assigned to, bunch of other stuff too.

    I think the 14 is an even bigger problem. But I guess that the new split policy alleviates it some.

    No one said it wasn’t. 70/8 is retarded. It should be 70/7.

    well, just in case it matters, they didn't solicit my input, therefore, it's likely not my fault.
    And as an aside, Big Gob'ment been holding your little hands since they implemented logging rules from day one.
    Jus' sayin'.

    And I have very, very BIG hands, by the way.

    Actually it shouldn't even be. There is absolutely zero scenarios where what I do on Monday affects what I can/cannot do on Saturday.

    I agree. It shouldn't be EITHER of them. Get rid of everything except 14/11, and get rid of that stupid F'n 30 minute break too.
