Truckers, lets see your rigs!

[BRE]

You wait till everyone has to run with a collar on their phuckin neck and then tell me what crash rates and death rates do. There is gonna be a cluster phuck that nobody obviously imagined. No more waiting for rush hour to pass in big cities before you go through, no more getting a small nap in when you needed one and waited to drive at night... parking for all of us? Yea phuckin right. We already had a parking shortage, now everyone will be trying to park by 3pm and the circus act will come alive.

It's about money, plain and simple. They estimate elogs will save 26 lives. If this was about safety they would put breathalysers in every vehicle too, I mean nobody cares about the 10k+ alcohol related fatalities in 2015?

Are you guys having to fill out cdl self certification for your states, it is Ky just dumb AF?

03 550 6nz 18spd 3.55s 5232 codes FLS 34 FTS -31.
My 30 day average is currently 5.5mpg, I was as high as 6.3mpg 30 day average late summer in to fall till I started idling every night. I see 3 differences in our setups tho,

-I'm running standup 24.5s (which honestly should be hurting mpg)

-I'm running the Borg Warner quick spool, does about 44psi/750egt on a 3 mile hill this morning

-standup sleeper and a closer airgap to the trailer (that's probably costing you a tenth right there)

It's cheaper to run an ELD than paper

Every job I've had ELD vs paper same routes I lost 20-30% these where dedicated runs

I'm talking about the cost of paper vs eld. Not the miles you lose from the inability to run illegal.

Getting some fancy log books if you're paying more than $15.00 per month...or you're running multiple books then argument is pointless.

Yea I run my iPad for paper logs and ink and paper aren’t very costly.
Especially when I can email the company his copy.

Logging, logbook auditing, IFTA reporting for $30 a month. There's no paper service that comes close.

[malibu795]

I'm at $8-9.00 a month for all said stuff lol

I’ve spent $250 in one day for 2 truck washes on the same truck. Let’s just say I don’t care much about the cost of log books.

I’m willing to bet anyone here other you would pay $130 a month to not have the big brother passenger you love.

As far as your point that shippers/receivers having to get more efficient due to your eld. Boy I hope so because those of us not running them can really clean your clock now. Lmao

Is good manure
It takes me maybe 2 hours to sort and file my IFTA per quarter.

Carbonless logs are $6.00 per 30 day...less buy in bulk through jj Keller or the like...


I also don't have to worry about hard drives crashing etc...
All I got to worry about is fire water and sunlight...

Soo anal about your bcsf that you forget your pennies

It’s like the cell phone argument. Some say they cause crashes and I’m sure sometimes they do. But there were crashes before cell phones, what caused all of those? The Bermuda Triangle is the same way. There has to be something strange going on down there since there is a higher number of personal airplane and small pleasure boat accidents down there right? It couldn’t just be because there is a higher percentage of small planes and boats in the warm tropical climate?


There are more truck crashes because there are just more trucks period! Wanna bet Newark New Jersey has more daily car crashes than Jackson Wyoming? Wonder why.

If Elogs are the safety cure, and most big fleets have ran them for a while Find me any owner operator that doesn’t cringe when a Swift truck parks beside them. It isn’t his hours of service they’re worried about.

I've been seeing a lot more of these company trucks driving like tards the last couple of years, I'm betting they're trying to beat their books.

I'm sure that's the reason why the ATA (swift, Werner and all the other big carriers) pushed the mandate so hard. It was never about safety, they just use that as a buzzword to scare people into supporting crap like this, and the general public believes it because they're sheep.

If a little device changes your driving that much you shouldn't be driving.
