FMCSA Forces Truck Drivers To Expose All Their Log Books Or Get Put Out Of Service Now

Yup. Nothing new here. Been that way for quite sometime.

BINGO

NAILED IT

SO

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT AN SATANIC OPERATION CALLED OUR GOVERNMENT

THEY HAVE VIOLATED OUR FREEWILL

THAT IS A FREE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN

CLAIM YOUR FREEWILL

ALL VIOLATORS WILL BURN AND BE BURNED UP

WHAT IS LEFT

IS

THE NEW EARTH


IT IS WRITTEN

AMEN

I'll take my chances. I've got over 1 million road miles on everything with wheels, and I'm still here. TPMS is bullshit and cause for no end of hassles with tire shops. Drivers of any rig, including four wheelers are responsible for the consequences of using that rig. Pay attention to your own stuff and everything else that can kill you and just deal with it.

We don't need no more stinking regulations!

Buttgig is an asshole and we certainly don't want to give that pervert even more power.

I asked my neighbor when he will be getting his all-electric 18-wheeler, because real soon, if it burns ANY fossil fuels, it won't be allowed on the road.

That's the future, all-sustainable renewable-energy trucking.

I think wood is considered renewable.

What's the rush? Move toward "renewable" energy at a natural pace, or as the tech moves forward and the prices drop. Until then, just use coal and oil as necessary.

Sure... I ran 4 log books when I ran way back when. Made a lot of money doing a lot of hustling.

Oops. Wrong thread but it probably works here too.

This video is 100% misinformation.

Internet bitching level 10....activated!!!

Ty to víš.

You can't anymore. All trucks are required to use e logs.

The only trucks not requiring e-logs are short-haulers.

My husband used to drive a truck, long before they forced e-logs down everyone's throat.

But I will say, the 'smart' drivers don't let carriers dictate their lives. E logs prevent carriers from making truckers do stupid stuff and FMCSA & DOT can shut down the entire company if they are found to violate this and harass drivers.

Too many drivers were being harassed by their companies to drive tired, drive too many hours, etc.

I don't necessarily like the e-log but it did solve several issues.

Yes. They have for decades.

Unless any truck in the fleet is not exempt then all trucks must have the electronic log.

If you lease to a company that has new trucks and have electronic logs then you must have it too.

The tires don't blow out because the air valve is deigned how it is. Cheap re-capped tires underinflated over speed with high temps is what causes that problem.

Before 2000 there isn't a computer to plug the elog into

The new trucks are shit. An emission failure where a truck is only eliminating 90% of tailpipe emissions instead of 100% will cause de-rate and that truck will stop itself.

EBS airbrakes, which is current in use technology, respond to the driver 200ms faster than George Westinghouse's air valves. It's the difference between brakes that operate at the speed of light and brakes that physically can't break the sound barrier. The first 200ms of an emergency stop of an 80,000 pound truck/trailer translates to yards of stopping distance and lives saved.

The design intent of ABS systems on trucks today is to save tires and more expensive wheel end repairs. They didn't even want to change or add to the 7 way trailer electrical plug so they use an automotive engineering version of the Ronco Clapper to turn the trailer fault indication on a tractor dash.

You have trucks today with 80,000 pounds on 10 wheels instead of 18. Have you ever had a super single fail on a non steer axle? The truck is 5x more likely to suffer loss of directional stability than an old school 18 wheeler losing a non steer tire.

New heavy trucks suck in North America and it costs at least 1,000 lives every year.

Big deal. The real issue is cost and reliability.

People can take care of their own lifes.

The old ICC

Coming up on 40 years ago, I ran over one of those tire shreds coming out of a tunnel on the PA turnpike. Because of the change in light brightness from dark to daylight at the tunnel portal, I didn't see it until it was too late.
I pulled over and looked under my car to see if I could see anything damaged and it looked OK. I drove about another 100 miles to my destination.
The next day, I was making a low speed turn from a parking lot onto a residential street and suddenly the steering wheel turned all the way to one end of its travel and the car made a sharp turn to the right. I was able to drive two blocks to my house by fighting the steering wheel to keep the car going straight.
The car had a broken upper control arm from the damage of running over the tire shred the previous day on the turnpike. If it had broken at any appreciable speed, I could have easily been in a serious/fatal accident.
I was lucky that time and a few other close calls since then. From close call episodes like that, I'm convinced there is a higher power that watches over all of us and not just the babies and drunks.
