One thought on “I’ve Been Trucking For 40 Years & ELD Forces Truckers To Drive When They’re Tired & Crash”
Trucker here. It’s not really the “Elogs”. Its the “hours of service” rules that went into effect when the Government got involved.
The Elog is just a computer that does your log for you. Yeah it sucks, but to me the rules never made sense to begin with. When we ran our logs on paper, we would just lie, run multiple books, and change them as needed to save time. Now with the computers, you can’t edit them, or lie. The rules are just so stupid and need to be gone. We know when we are tired and need to sleep, it’s just ridiculous.
