Good then maybe you can leave this one. Why didn’t you add the exceptions to the mandate in your list? Doesn’t fit your propaganda?

If you need the gubmint to tell you when to sleep and when to work, you probably shouldn't be driving.

I know we would. We lose money on our trucks anyway...it's a service to our customers to have their equipment moved when they need, and for us to deliver it to them when they want it....not when some cowboy decides to show up and load.

Allan could get them there for you, as long as his electronic babysitter says he can.

Most big industries do already. OSHA tracks hours and if an incident happens they can cite you if excessive overtime appears to be a factor. I wonder if that is the idea with the ELD. More of an auditing method if an accident happens.

You can park your truck and drive your car home .

No-one wants to answer my question about self certification?

Not sure what you mean by it. Yea we can self certify for intrastate.

[biggy238]

I will see if I can get a copy. It basically is asking you to certify that you are physically fit to operate, which no person reliant on their CDL for sustenance is going to willfully contend.
Why in the hell would you DQ yourself?

Yea I think most states do it but it’s for intrastate only. Like a mechanic that has a CDL doesn’t need to take a physical since they rarely drive and if so it’s never out of state. That doesn’t irritate me as much as grandpa in his RV.

Again it goes back to the days before the CDL. We survived that, so having a few self certified CDL holders isn’t a big deal. Especially anyone with a pulse can pass a physical at there are no shortage of truckers with a glass pipes. Buddy that owns junkyard said they find a lot of drug paraphernalia in trucks. The feds should pass a mandate regulating drug use, that will surely make us safer. We need more laws

[biggy238]

We do physicals and routine random drug tests. We also can't drive a company vehicle off a job site if we exceed 14 hrs.

We see tweekers all the time at the shop.

I eat **** every year because my blood pressure exceeds the limit. I'm a large guy, but we have one driver come in that I call tubby. This fat bastard broke 3 seat frames in 6 months. There is no way in hell he would pass the physical that our company has us perform.

I digress.

Self cert is a waste of paper, effort and salary.

Seems to me your awfully concerned with very small percentage of CDL holders while admitting you see tweakers on a daily basis. Tweakers that most likely didn’t self certify but got the physical.

I wish I could find a few to polish my wheels. No one does a better job than a meth head.

Any guesses on what this is? I always assumed it was a stock B turbo but its much different than the verified stock one i have. 76mm on the compressor.
