A bill aiming to bring relief to truckers from the mandate requiring electronic logging devices has been referred to the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced by Reps. Greg Gianforte, R-Mont., and Collin Peterson, D-Minn., H.R. 5948, the Small Carrier Electronic...

4 th Amendment rights are violated is disturbing.

Among the many topics discussed during a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing on the White House’s infrastructure proposal with Secretary Elaine Chao, several lawmakers brought up the ELD mandate. Chao’s response to calls by Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, to look into more...

In a way good, in a way bad. Been a lot of folks creeping under 5 mph through parking lots hoping to not trigger an automatic change of duty status.

Have you noticed a decrease in capacity due to such (any examples)? Are you seeing an increase in rates shippers are willing to pay to get freight moved? What issues are you facing as a driver? Overall, how do you feel about the mandate?

Plenty stuff here that would get you tickets if you showed it on a paper log. Hope the DOT gives you a break for the falsified information showing up on these things.

Nearly 1,800 comments have been filed on a request from the electronic logging device mandate that would exempt certain small trucking carriers from compliance with the rule. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association filed the exemption request in November. The Association is asking...

I don't mean totally going ape shit, you run paper log. I'm talking about this kind of glitch. I forgot to log pretrip, that's my error. But I stopped around 6 AM and got fuel, DEF and reefer fuel. I shut off the truck while fueling too. Then I pulled forward, shut it off again, and went...

The mandate officially starts this Monday, December 18th, 2017. Given that start date, we should start seeing the effects of the mandate, if there will be any, starting now. I mentioned in an previous thread that my phone was ringing all day today, and the phone number wasn't posted for...

I am surprised no one has mentioned about getting around the ELD Mandate by using 1999 or older model engines. How does everyone feel about that route, instead of the burden of conformity?

I am sitting outside of Indy (T/A in Clayton, Monrovia, or whatever it is here). Delivered my load in Plainfield late this morning, left the receiver close to noon. Lots of hours to run, I checked out loads while getting unloaded, and after getting to the truck stop and getting a shower...

Yes I'm new, and yes I'm a dummy for leaving this too late. The company I work for has picked an ELD they want to use. Cool. Opened the app yesterday and logged in tonight when I was parked. BUT it showed me as having a partial log for today. I don't understand how if I'm not logged in, it's...

From truck stops to statehouses around the nation, groups of truckers took to the streets to raise awareness with lawmakers and the general public about the negative impacts they foresee from an upcoming electronic logging device mandate. More than 40 locations from California to New York were...

Just like everything else, it seems like too many truck and small fleet owners seem to be having a meltdown at the last minute over the ELD Mandate. Sadly, some folks are going to be caught unable to purchase the unit they really want, and forced to go with whatever they can get from a...

The trade group representing the U.S. fireworks industry is the latest in an ever-growing list to ask for an exemption to next month’s mandate of electronic logs. In a letter sent to the Federal Motor Safety Carrier Administration on Nov. 27, the American Pyrotechnics Association requested a...

A group of truckers met with Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., recently to discuss their opposition to the upcoming ELD mandate. One of the truckers present at the meeting was Dick Pingel, an OOIDA life member from Plover, Wis., and member of the OOIDA Board of Directors. Pingel said he gave the...

Sikh truckers have become the latest group to file a formal request for an exemption to next month’s rule imposing electronic logging devices in commercial vehicles. In a letter sent to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, the Sikh drivers ask for a one-year enforcement delay, followed...

Ok Dec 18 is coming up. Just inquisitive about who went out and got a pre 2000 truck. Had the local truck dealer tell me last spring already that his O/O sales dropped dramatically . They were not going to trade due to the ELD mandate which in turn he was not selling owner operated spec trucks...

First off, this is not another thread to complain about the ELD. It is to discuss the restrictions (which are tighter than most are used to) and the need to fight for personal conveyance. If you are hooking up a true ELD for the first time, or about to, you will notice the tight restrictions...
