{"replyTo":"","text":"How can we make the so called \" LAWMAKERS  \" begin to see that we as truckers need certain exemptions and rights and eventually better pay rates for the tremendous job that we do.\n\nWe should be getting the minimum $30 dollars an hour for an apprentice and something close to aviation rates for the true professionals. \n\nLook at the mega million dollar profits of the trucking companies.  TRICKLE IT DOWN YOU GREEDY CEO'S.\n\nThe regulations on us are strict and very demanding.\n\nOur family lives almost always suffer because we are away from home all week and still bringing home pennies on the dollar while we are the ones keeping America great!\n\nWe have the power !  We can get things changed. in our favour and I believe we could start by flexing our muscles on this seatbelt law which only makes us more uncomfortable during our daily 14 hour shifts.\n\nHow can we start making them hear us on our issues?","replyToPid":0}

768491 发表于 2019-10-09 00:20:38 I don't mind drawing lines, but I have never ran an ELD.  \n\ncompany drivers may prefer ELD's but paperlogs have an advantage for O/O.\n\nI am more concerned with the seatbelt use,   I think it should be an option and not a law for us commercial drivers.  \n\nit's so annoying and seatbelts don't protect us from dying when these big rigs crash.

","text":"been saying this for years.. maybe the newer trucks are good to have seatbelts.. but anything 95 an older.. that motor is coming up and in.. I will take my chances getting ejected into the bunkhouse.. and rolling down the embankment.. big rigs and wrecks.. dont match well","replyToPid":223891}

I feel like I would forget to jot down what town I did my 30 at and would have to rewrite full sheets because the lines weren’t straight enough 😅\n\nI also feel like people want to use paper logs to cheat HOS. The rules haven’t changed, just the way it’s recorded. "}
