Ummm....You already need to. If you stop to use the bathroom, you need to log this.

More pee bombers in the making

All the trade publications and large carriers were claiming that. And it was a 15 hour window that could be stopped at any time by off duty.

People who work for trade publications or run large trucking companies are generally idiots, so thanks for the agreement.

I agree with most of that. So do you also agree that when they were talking of rates going up they were idiots?

I believe I already said as much when I stated that I didn't see how increasing the number of hours a driver could drive would increase rates.

[chris1]

It wasn't the number of hours to drive but the 14 hour clock. So how is EOBR's going to raise the rates? Be interesting to hear how someone would pitch that. Maybe something like this. My operation lacks the efficiency to compete because of EOBR so i need more money. If someone can sell that i've got a job opening. I get a good laugh everytime something is going to raise the rates.
They will eventually be required for everyone. No big deal, just adjust to it.

I've already explained it, but obviously you have a reading deficiency.

[chris1]

Obviously your deficiency is in understanding business in general. There are many carriers already using electronic logs/logging by gps/ect that are operating at a profit with the current rates. There is no justification for whoever pays for the freight to accept increases. Those carriers already operating under stricter compliance will gain larger shares of the market if others try to increase the rates.
Of course many people have to maintain the dream that one thing is going to make life better for them.

Oh man, I'm sorry.............. this is the mental state one has after running a couple log books for a while with no government intervention.

Sorry guys, I'll be serious tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
