    Can You Quantify EOBR $$$ Benefits?

    But Turtle, that same 20 truck carrier can at anytime start to install them on a 6 truck per year and not have a large dollar hit. It comes down to understanding how to integrating the EOBR over time, just as large carries do now. Just as large carriers don't replace all the trucks at the same...

    Can You Quantify EOBR $$$ Benefits?

    Can You Quantify EOBR $$$ Benefits?

    Can You Quantify EOBR $$$ Benefits?

    Maybe you can explain how logging electronically is any different then logging with paper logs. I see no difference except that E logs do it by the minute. How would it tell you when to go to the bathroom or when to eat, it wouldn't. Therefore, please come up with a better example.

    At home again, since LS is slow right now, I just checked and out of 100 vans we only have 11 with loads. Not good. Been this way for the last month with a max of 30% of them loaded on some days with about 20% loaded on average. Anyone else this slow on the B and SuperB

    New Hair drug tests for workers.

    They have been using the hair drug test in other industries for years, it just took trucking longer to get to this type of drug test. Yep it stays longer and just think of drivers that are in the industry that do drugs and are called in for a random, there won't be any masking of drug use...
