I certainly don’t think that drivers are stupid. I drove and owned my own trucks for many years. Technology is changing the trucking industry and there are some benefits for us too. I used to have to IFTA reports by hand and spent many hours doing them and worrying about paying too much. The TruckingOffice invoicing system makes it simple to do IFTA reports and the TruckingOffice ELD works together with the TMS so that invoicing and tracking work together.

Your rebuttal solution is that it makes your life easier reporting ifta. That’s a sad excuse and treats us like we’re ignorant! Please stop! If a elog cuts my income by 10%, why would you think that saving (potentially if I wasn’t using invoicing software that produces my ifta numbers in less that one minute!) Is a positive thing. And by the way you have to pay $10 a month more each unit to have the ifta provided by your elog vendor! For me that’s $30 a month x3 months so $90 extra fee so save a o e min report. Please explt how that’s a positive and offsets the losses caused by the elog. Don’t treat us like we’re stupid please.

Although these new rule changes are totally useless to otr drivers. The biggest problem is the CONSECUTIVE 14 HRS. have a 14 hour rule if they insist…just not a conservative 14 hours. There are things that happen during the day that are out of a driver’s control that can waste an entire day for a driver. Not to mention that same circumstance can make a load late. The other problem is the eld program doesn’t reflect how shipper and receiver facilities are set up. There should be a 1/4 to 1/2 mile distance provision. Almost all facilities have a guard shack and a recieving or shipping office in separate locations. And most times a staging area for trucks to wait if they arrive early or they have to wait for a door. If you sit for 2 to 4 hours and are halfway through a break then get called to back in you have to start your break all over again and it automatically gives you a violation when you’re out of hours. This is completely unfair to the drivers because it causes several problems as far as being on time and wasting large sections of a driver’s day.
