{"replyTo":"","text":"I understand there's rules and policies to follow; however that 36 hr reset is redundant being drivers should get enough rest during the 11 hrs within 14hrs, then they're getting 10 hrs rest. Again, I understand rules and policies, however this policies doesn't prevent accidents nor does it prevent drivers from making mistakes. Maybe the ELD should be evaluated for those reasons, a real distraction.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I think it's a good change and the first in a decade that will actually mitigate driving fatigue. forcing a driver to take 10 hours in one sitting does NOT necessarily reduce his fatigue.  everyone is different.  A full 10 hours makes me more tired sometimes!!","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"No matter what, doing a7/3 split will not reset your 14 on ELD. You must do the 10 continuously to do that. The sleeper birth will only trigger the reset of what you had when you started that status. Therefore, it should not matter if you are in Sleeper birth or off duty. You still have to go do 10 hours straight to get a new 14 on ELD. So, ELD has not caught up with paper logs in that respect.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Take 14 hour lock off . That will fix everything .Thats the most problam. Driver cant eat in restorent cant take shower where cause companies have lock on Fule  and they cant take shower on any truckstop where there logbook stop them for 10 hrs off. 14 hour lock gives more sttess .","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"they should eliminate the 34 hour restart too why do we need that if you sleep 10 hours everyday and keep driving that's all you need we are in the long haul coast to coast and you have to do a restart at both ends","replyToPid":0}
