That's not even 10 percent and why do independent truckers have to get electronic logs? Look at the percent of independent accidents and big corporation accidents! Who do the big boys and brokers call on when they need the job done? INDEPENDENT TRUCKERS!! This E-Log is only going to raise food and supply cost so the freight for having to stay away from home an extra day or 2 should increase!!!

Electronic Log Book and cost

Electronic Log Book and cost

I really want to know if anyone can explain to me why we (truckers) have to keep spending more money to keep up these laws and our freight is still between $1.45 to $1.65? The big corporation are trying to control the game but they can't keep good drivers either? I read that the electronic logbook will save 26 lives? That's not even 10 percent and why do independent truckers have to get electronic logs? Look at the percent of independent accidents and big corporation accidents! Who do the big boys and brokers call on when they need the job done? INDEPENDENT TRUCKERS!! This E-Log is only going to raise food and supply cost so the freight for having to stay away from home an extra day or 2 should increase!!! I tired of being ROBBED!!!!
