The disadvantages to the E-log proposed Forced mandate are numerous.
We need consider over all safety nationwide for trucking , particularly given time pressures of the 14-hour clock in the hours of service rules, Drivers have no choice but to drive in traffic, adverse weather conditions and/or fatigued because Drivers can’t take a nap or avoid adverse conditions because it is tick, tick, ticking away.
ELDs have made it to where drivers all pretty much pick up at the same times, therefore Drivers all run out of hours at about the same times. Slow loading or unloading times affect my overall productivity and paycheck more so then they did before.
This ELD Mandate Overall would be Expensive to an already Over Regulated Industry That has Been expensive to Small Fleets and Owner/ Ops.
