    OOIDA Says...

    Ya they had to change their tune on the letter sent to FMCSA's lawyers, because it seems everyone of us who read the letter seen it as saying EOBR's were now illegal. Like I have said here and on OOIDA's forum that they have made it easy for bad comPanies to keep running illegal. These...

    Are Paper Log Books Coming Back?

    OVM, why would a good driver stay at a company that is so bad that they were going to be required to have a EOBR? Could it be they stay because they get away with running illegal, that would be my only guess. After over 20 years and about 2.5 million safe driving miles I quit driving TT and...

    Are Paper Log Books Coming Back?

    OVM, how would a carrier or a O/O be hurt by having to use a EOBR? The only hurt I see is that they would have to run legal. How would a large carrier be at a advantage if independents had to use a EOBR? If people keep trying to use the we get it there faster then a carrier using a EOBR, then...

    Are Paper Log Books Coming Back?

    I know the junk we had before was paper logs where you could cheat to your hearts content, now that you have a EOBR a persons cheating is next to zero. Yes I know you can still cheat a little, my brother did for up to a hour a day. Nothing compared to the paper log or should I say comic book...

    Are Paper Log Books Coming Back?

    Looks like OOIDA writes letters leaving out facts. I have so much fun on the forum at OOIDA with all the OOIDA never does anything wrong crowd. I always love OOIDA and their flip flops, We were for the rule before we found out that some of our members were in the worst of the worst category...

    Hours of Service Guide

    The new HOS regulating is sitting at the OMB at the White House where they have between 30 and I think 90 days ( might be 60 ) to approve the rule as is or to tell FMCSA to make changes to the rule. Once OMB signs off on the rule the it becomes the new HOS regulation. At that point let all the...

    Looking for a Broker

    Hey Gregg336, try 1400 a couple of times and it didn't hurt the pocket book that bad, but then again I wanted to go home. Freight got so slow I made a decision that it was cheaper to DH home then take a chance of another week of no freight because people were running for .80 or less to get out...

    Tumbleweeds, just talked tx a Texas State last week on making under 10,000 LBS log and weight and he said no way because it would tie up the system.

    You should look back and see that OOIDA was in favor of the rule when it came out, but then some of there members would have had to put them on their trucks. Then they had no choice but to change. OOIDA is a org. of no

    Hos force Majuer?

    I guess some here don't know that the lawsuit by OOIDA was about stopping EOBR'S being put on he worst carriers out here nothing more. As for companies requiring you to have a EOBR nothing has changed they can still require you to have a EOBR and OOIDA can do nothing about that.

    I hate headlines like this ....

    Please don't get me wrong, but if anyone here slams on his brakes do you expect to be hit from the rear. No matter what you should never be hit hard in the rear when you either slow down or slam on the brakes. Think about what I just wrote. people everywhere follow to close, both trucks and...
