E-Logging
I'm sitting home this fine day wondering what everybody thinks about the e-log. Do you like it, hate it, or are you indifferent to it? Personally, I hate it. It seems to make me drive when I'm tired, and feel like I'm constantly racing a freaking clock. I also find you need to take considerably more time trip planning so you don't run out of time with nowhere to stop. Aslo, who the heck sleeps 10 hours a day?
Typically, I'm in the 150 air mile bubble so have never really worried about it. However, the last month or so, Ive been running over the road and have come to HATE the elog. So much so, I'm seriously considering buying an older truck, rebuilding it, and running it instead. I REALLY miss the days when we could run paper logs. Times were simpler, and less stressful.
On a side note, since we have had the pleasure of running HOS exempt for some loads due to the chicharona virus, I'm wondering if the accident stats involving CMVs have jumped through the roof? If not, (and I doubt they have) It seems to me we don't really need the elogs in the first place.
It's just my opinion, and I could be wrong.
What do you think?
