    I've been driving thirty years over four million mile that would say I know what iam talking about you all making these rules have no. Idea what you are doing elog are very dangerous truck that only run so fast create traffic jams and dangerous situation not all people are the same they are not computer we need rest at different intervals the elog has put me out of driving for or people and safety keeps making it more dangerous every year. Trucks more dangerous were safety go super singles do not have enough traction to the road to even start to be safe I can go on and on but no one cares about safety in the first place. I did tweenty year average thirty five hundred mile saft know I can't keep two thousand mile so know you need twice the number of truck on the road and know with elog you ever one driving day ensted of split night and day that's makes four times the number of truck on the road four rush hour traffic I can go on and on but its not go help you all think you know evey thing. So you all keep making it more dangerous to be on the road its the most dangerous job their is today. Slow down drive safe tks ram

    I have used e logs and they make you more of an unsafe driver due to the fact that you are on a timer all day and are in a hurry to do everything. Companies still expect the miles to be driven and loads to be delivered on time while still having to deal with back ups in traffic, delays at the shipper and consignee and such, and all the other important responsibilities of a driver while still maintaining a safe and properly running vehicle. And then throw it all at you to do with a timer and that's enough to stress someone out. I used to drive the speed limit or below before I had e logs. Now I run 5 over the speed limit since I always feel I'm in a hurry having to out run a timer and complete everything. And e logs don't consider a driver needing a shower neither. I've gone a whole week without one just because my e log and the runs I needed to complete didn't give me the time. It's kinda sad what our government and companies are doing to truckers.

    THIS SUCKS what will be next .? i mean how is this going to make the roads safer? seems like its gonna take longer to complete a load. so its gonna cost more to deliver how they expect a owner to pay for the equiptment

    I wonder how many accidents have been caused due to driver being in a rush to bet the clock because now your in a rush to do everything and safety is last.
    And has everyone notice that ?

    I don't like the idea they have. Here why they tell us it's ok to start our own business. Land of the free. Ok well let's see I paid my 2290 to drive on crappy roads. Go places where trucks can't park. I pay 1800 just for truck tags ,this does not include the high insurance I pay. Plus the cost to buy my own trucks I only have two but they are mine.. So I do pay double for everything.. They say it's because of all the wreaks. Well I been in this business for over 20 years. Yes there are a few bad apples out here but it's not everyone. Just take a look around next time you are driving on the highway. Watch your four wheelers. They don't even pay attention to what they are doing.but here is my question foe the government since I paid all this money to start my company so is the goverment going to give me some of my money back since now we are not going to be small business owner instead controlled by government this mean I'm back being a company driver again ,,so much for land of opertuntiy .
