The Iron fist

Posted on Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 2:47 PM CST in Clearwater, MN

The Iron fist

It turns out that the Iron fist, has become the velvet glove, as the FMCSA appears unable to enforce the ELD mandate, during the first week of hard enforcement. As truckers pass by the scale house's, the back parking lots appear to be empty, despite the fact that thousands of truckers continue to report malfunctions with their ELD. In the mean time, The DOT appears to be playing "let's make a deal", as Mr Martinez continues to hold listening sessions. Perhaps they could turn this into a game show, and trump could make special appearances.
