I guess it's safe to assume you show the same respect for all driving regulations, never exceed the maximum speed limit for example. Or is that different?![]()
Would any of you use an ELD without being forced to?

Mack, I have hired a bunch of drivers who don't seem to get the words "I will back you" when it comes to dispatch, I had to condition them to think that they can say no and I want them to say no when they are being forced to do something. Eld has helped by allowing me to keep my sanity, no more bullsh** from a 3am call from a company demanding I force a driver to fix his logs and take a run.
For me I don't see the loses in overall revenue that everyone claimed that would happen. I hate the costs involved, I am stuck paying between $20 and $50 per truck per month for to "maintain" the back office which I think is such a scam because there is no requirements to have it, but it is done to make money.x1Heavy, spyder7723, CrappieJunkie and 1 other person Thank this. -
See you said "Im a company driver". Then said "I run my rig like I own it". You don't own it and no choice on elds or paper. Your statements are my arguments. I own mine why can't I run it like I own it?Lite bug, wore out and Pedigreed Bulldog Thank this. -
I do not have one and will not be buying one. #eldorme

I don't have a problem with HOS. Ultimately solved it by going team. Then it really didnt matter anymore.
I do have a issue with a computer telling me I cannot move. Dispatchers in my time did not take no for a answer. That would have been epic many times.CrappieJunkie Thanks this. -

I can see some like the simplicity or even safety of the ELD. Nothing wrong with that. For some that want all paper done away with or a level playing field it boils down to some one else may have an opportunity to make more than them, or get home earlier leave later etc. Thing is its none of their concern what another guy does. They made their decision to go with the ELD company or truck whatever. Because they can't no one should, though they hide behind I'm all for legal beagle. I'm not saying all but their are some that feel that way.
Now my stance, I don't give a rats ### what the guy next to me does. He will have to answer for that. All my stuff is mechanical, was before I ever heard the term ELD. Nothing was bought to avoid squat. There is no way at this time to put an ELD that conforms to the standards in my trucks. For anyone to think I need to go buy trucks to comply is asinine. I will put any of my 3 side by side with any truck on the road bar none in a DOT inspection bay. We stay in 500 mile radius why again do I need a new truck? I will be ###### if I buy used that's some one else's headache. I know mine they are paid for so they are staying. If we all quit worrying about the other guy and concentrate on our own business we will get farther along.xsetra, Lite bug, BoostedTeg and 3 others Thank this. -
