    Oh, I wonder? Way back when... I pretty much drove through the night and had a truck stop in mind to stop and sleep by mid morning. For some reason, once in my bunk with the curtain drawn, it was always dark enough for me to nod off and usually slept like a baby. The absolute best sleep time was when the rain pounded on my roof. I remember that sound and I would sleep long and dead to the world. A few times, I remember waking up much later than I intended and then rushing to get back on the road and being pissed-off that I overslept.

    But all of that was way before ELD. I don't know what I would do now? Not being able to finagle my log books would put a real damper on my driving style.

    To me, that #### ELD is like putting a chain on a dog, but I guess that's what you call progress.

    If the computer tells you you're not tired, and safe to drive, then you're safe to drive.

    If you're wide awake, but the computer tells you, you are not safe to drive, then you must rest.

    9 hours 59 minutes 50 seconds off duty, you are unsafe and a threat and a public menace.
