74382 发表于 2020-10-15 04:11:54 Sorry. This is nothing to me. Dump the ridiculous \"14 Rule.\" Shipper's/Receiver's/Broker's don't care one bit about how long they keep us waiting for a dock or in dock. Detention time payment is a joke. I do not need anyone to tell me when I'm tired. For guys like me (24 years) this is worthless. I used to love to take a 5 hour snooze and drive for 5. I was never fatigued. I pretty much stay within a 300 mile radius of my home base. If you're close to any big metropolis the 14 hour rule can really hurt you worse than long haul. Tight windows, traffic, Broker's/Shipper's/Receiver's not concerned with our time. It all comes down to what we should've done years ago. Every trucker take 5 days off. Bring this country to it's knees! Otherwise, your all just wasting my time SMH 🤬...

WE SAVE LIVES, everytime we do a pretrip, everytime we make a turn correctly,  everytime we enter/exit the highway without causing carnage WE SAVE LIVES.  so if the government is involved in our regulations then they should pay us like government workers.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"after 33 years of driving it's very simple it's not all the shipper and receivers it's not all the drivers if the shipper and receiver holds you up you're running against an elog that puts you on the side of the road without your lights on that is an accident waiting to happen if a driver cannot manage his time on this elog he is running as hard as he can that's why you see more wrecks more idiots on this road today than you did back 33 years ago simple solution get rid of the elogs and go back to paper logs keep the same rules start finding the shipper and receivers but the government is not going to do that because they make money they're big corporations that's what it boils down to elogs has worked the trucking industry GPS is smartphones all the technology you have today has worked the driving industry you want to see improvements take the electronics out of the truck half of the drivers will quit you won't see what you see today simple solution get rid of the elogs","replyToPid":0}
