What's Happening Now
Crusin, you seem to be arguing that most truck drivers drive safe and follow the rules, so they don’t need EOBRs. However, do you think that EOBRs are a good idea for those drivers that have significant HOS violations?
I don’t need to or want to run for any more than the 11 hours….
The cost of the EBOR equipment is high, the monthly cost is another fee the O/O does not need ….
The average O/O is probably the safest of all truck drivers out here .. they know the cost of what has to be completed on their trucks…the cheapest way is the most expensive…
Their trucks are their livelihood..
Most O/O’s know that if in an accident running illegal logs just isn’t worth it.
Their truck should not have been on the road when it should have been shut down for a reset…
Every O/O I have met keeps legal logs.
The Electronic logs are costly and I’m totally against them just because of some dumb a** that got in accident because he was driving when he should have been doing a reset.
Illegal logs…This is not the norm out here for the long term Owner Operator.
EBOR’s are just another cost the O/O does need in my opinion.

what I’m saying is I’m an O/O…I keep correct logs… a stupid thing to falsify logs..
But the FMCSA IS GOING TO MAKE ME(force me to use them) USE EOBR’s….
because some dumb xxx’s falsified logs and got into an accident…and operated THEIR TRUCKS while fatigued..
we as (O/O’s, ) don’t operate that way..unsafe…safety is THE FIRST PRIORITY…I keep the equipment in good order…repair just about everything on the rig’s in order to keep the vehicles SAFE and mainly to ovoid breakdowns…
The pay scale has dropped significantly over the years…
..and FMCSA is going to force me to install that expensive equipment in my trucks…an expense I don’t need or want.
I’m really against the idea of… more »
mainly because we
(my other drivers who haul for me) operate within the HOS now…I really do not need an electronic device to keep CORRECT, LEGAL logs…
IT’S ANOTHER EXPENSE I DON’T NEED AT MY COMPANY!

yes, for very repetitive offenders…drivers that purposely create false logs…not drivers that have been cited for a honest mistake on their logs over the years.
I had a State Police Officer tell me to my face that he was
” writing a many violations as possible to keep myself employed as a State Police Officer”…
That’s non sense…
BOTTOM LINE…
YOU GOTTA BE AN IDIOT TO RUN FALSIFIED LOGS…1 ACCIDENT AND 2-5 HEAVY TRUCK INVESTIGATORS + ILLEGAL LOGS+ SERIOUS PROBLEMS…
WHO WOULD BE THAT STUPID?
Me personally…I drive for my allotted time…11 hours…rest the correct amount of hours…then `run the next day for 11…
I need to or want to run for anymore crazy hours..
I don’t need to or want to run for any more than the 11 hours….
