They don’t give a phuck about the wait times. Not their problem.
You think you understand everything.

Good luck? Its already happened. Less wait times, more detention pay, I know of several customers that were dropped because their needs couldnt be met with ELDs or they simply had too much wait time. One completely changed the way their shipping operated. They used to be regularly 8-10 hours to get loaded now its usually under an hour and we get a dollar a minute past 2 hours.

You really are ignorant aren’t you, go hook to a hopper and tell a multi million dollar corporation that they need to rebuild a grain system that works and they will laugh at you, people are not going to rebuild facilities unless they need to and for them this isn’t a need.

Again theres more than one way to improve things.

Maybe for you looking out the windshield of your truck. In the summer months I bet I watch 20+ inbound trucks roll through our gate where I work and I would wager they sit for 15-20 max while we unload them and check the load in. Come sit in my chair with 100+ employees that need a paycheck and an average inventory of $3,000,000.00+ sitting on the ground and tell me what your point of view is. The closest one of our 6 yards is 50 miles away and takes about an hour and 10 minutes by truck and the furthest is almost 3 hours away by truck.

I am very worried about what this ELD BS is going to do

How so? The trucking industry has more freight than it knows what to do with and not enough drivers to move it. And the rail industry isn't to far behind in that respect.

We have a hard time finding drivers that are able to pass a D.O.T physical and drug test.

Worrying is pointless. Act dont react. The companies that are already on ELD and have been for a while this won't be an issue. Those *****ing, moaning about and waiting until the last week to be complaint or to ask the hard questions will be left in the dust.

Our fleet is 100% oo in various divisions. Dry van, flat bed, expedited ltl flatbed, specialized. They asked for volunteers years ago a few changed with financial incentive. Hard date became june this past year you shouldve heard the complaining! Im gonna retire! Im gonna quit! In the end out of 200 oos not a single one did because of ELD.

Now they pay their mileage guys detention and for 34 hour reset on the road.

So what changes have you made?

Flat bed and dry van yet again...
I’m not sure what’s going on but I see a lot of guys going to reefer work and have heard the rates skyrocketed. No proof though

I forsee pet food ingredients going strictly toted, and going to a dryvan.

To add to SmokinCAT's previous comment change cost's money and there is only so much of it to go around. Spending a ton of money (profit) to change a facility around doesn't make financial sense to most companies. Again it's really easy for you to armchair quarterback since you don't have to spend a dime of your money to do it.

Change isnt always about facility.

You guys ever heard the saying about looking out for yourself when arguing with an idiot? Something about them dragging you down to their level and beating you with experience?


I believe we found our idiot...


He'll never be wrong...just like he believes his S60 is the best thing ever because of his BSFC...he'll never be wrong because he is a trucking GOD.
