It's coming and unfortunately it will be a matter of who can get through that first stage without completely going under. I'm not sure what our strategy will be for weathering the storm but having a strategy will be imperative. Can we afford to park our trucks for a few months while shippers scramble to find trucks? I hope so because I believe that's what it will take. And truthfully, I think the industry is already at that point, ELDs will just be the catalyst that [hopefully] forces shippers to make changes.\n \n I have seen the benefits of ELDs in larger companies. Dispatchers can no longer pretend they don't require drivers to run when they shouldn't be but it comes at a high cost to the driver. I hope that a mandate would have a similar effect on shippers but I'm only cautiously optimistic. I'm concerned that it will instead open the door to big companies simply hiring more drivers and completely pushing out the O/O. Since big companies work in volume, only their drivers will suffer. But who cares about them, right?\n \n They claim a driver shortage now (which seems to me just to be a trucking company's way of saying \"we don't pay our drivers enough and can't keep anyone\"). I guess that won't be such a problem if O/O are forced to either sign on with a big company or shut down permanently. Suddenly the ELD's will have \"cured the driver shortage\", although drivers will be making less. And sadly, your average Joe Voter won't be here to back the guys who bring their everything because they're afraid of trucks that they don't understand.\n \n The only way O/O will be able to get back in the game is for rates to go up, detention to be consistently paid, and some actual PLANNING AND SCHEDULING to be done at the shipper/cnee. I hate appointments but if it meant no more than an hour wait and was reasonable (no 36 hours for a 4 hour drive or vice versa) and a little felxible, I'd be ok with it and would be willing to be a little flexible with them on the wait time. It's a give and take but right now it seems that drivers do the giving, shippers do the taking. I hope that ELDs will eventually cause shippers to see these things but my normally optimistic self isn't so optimistic on this one.\n \n In the end, I believe you're right that it will turn the industry on its head but which way it actually goes will be a wait and see. Either way, it will have a dramatic impact on the country and everyone in it. Joe Voter might just reconsider his disdain for that \"dangerous trucker\" a little too late.", "contentHtml": "My driver and I discussed this just this weekend. It's coming and unfortunately it will be a matter of who can get through that first stage without completely going under. I'm not sure what our strategy will be for weathering the storm but having a strategy will be imperative. Can we afford to park our trucks for a few months while shippers scramble to find trucks? I hope so because I believe that's what it will take. And truthfully, I think the industry is already at that point, ELDs will just be the catalyst that [hopefully] forces shippers to make changes. \r\n \r\nI have seen the benefits of ELDs in larger companies. Dispatchers can no longer pretend they don't require drivers to run when they shouldn't be but it comes at a high cost to the driver. I hope that a mandate would have a similar effect on shippers but I'm only cautiously optimistic. I'm concerned that it will instead open the door to big companies simply hiring more drivers and completely pushing out the O/O. Since big companies work in volume, only their drivers will suffer. But who cares about them, right? \r\n \r\nThey claim a driver shortage now (which seems to me just to be a trucking company's way of saying "we don't pay our drivers enough and can't keep anyone"). I guess that won't be such a problem if O/O are forced to either sign on with a big company or shut down permanently. Suddenly the ELD's will have "cured the driver shortage", although drivers will be making less. And sadly, your average Joe Voter won't be here to back the guys who bring their everything because they're afraid of trucks that they don't understand. \r\n \r\nThe only way O/O will be able to get back in the game is for rates to go up, detention to be consistently paid, and some actual PLANNING AND SCHEDULING to be done at the shipper/cnee. I hate appointments but if it meant no more than an hour wait and was reasonable (no 36 hours for a 4 hour drive or vice versa) and a little felxible, I'd be ok with it and would be willing to be a little flexible with them on the wait time. It's a give and take but right now it seems that drivers do the giving, shippers do the taking. I hope that ELDs will eventually cause shippers to see these things but my normally optimistic self isn't so optimistic on this one. \r\n \r\nIn the end, I believe you're right that it will turn the industry on its head but which way it actually goes will be a wait and see. Either way, it will have a dramatic impact on the country and everyone in it.
