    So because my truck falls under the exemption I should be pushed or forced out of business by other owner operators is that what your saying?

    Where do you get all your information on all those lying and cheating on paper? You have no way to back up your bs so please close the pie hole. If you are only stirring the pot be aware that you are doing nothing to improve the industry.

    I was thinking about this today.

    Let's say the FMCSA issued a new regulation. No more Electronic Logging Devices, everyone has to go back to paper logging.

    Just how many of the ELD Do-gooders do you think would log 100% honestly? ;-)

    Do you really want me to answer that? I doubt very many would go back to lying on paper. Life on elogs is just all roses and sunshine from what I see and hear.

    Now I'm on the "shipper" side of things, talking to brokers to pick up our overflow freight around the midwest and the last week has been hell. Can't find trucks and things are very very pricey.

    If elds went away tomorrow, rates would drop faster than they went up.

    Mega carriers arena pulling from the spot to move trucks, because if they were, I wouldn't be sitting in Jacksonville waiting.
