Perhaps this is a way to circumvent having to install those black boxes. Swift has taken a few hard hits with major accidents recently. I would expect that may have played a part in their decision.

They are nice. We've got them in our trucks and its easy to pull up and see where you are on hours. Big no no to violate hours. Which is also nice, because no one will push you to fudge your logs. Can't get around the electronic logs, so when you are out of hours you won't drive.

Agreed. Y'all might use something different than what We[rner] have, but it's still nice to have it there on the computer and not have to draw a comic strip every day. However, that's a double-edged sword. If you're stuck somewhere, out of hours, with nowhere to go, you can't just sneak up the truck stop which is 10 miles away while you're on line 1 or 2.

It'd be weird to not having the dispatchers asking you to go ahead and push on through.

Everything is the same everyday, so that's not a problem.

hope some of that govt. money makes room for more truck stops, lol. I also thing you'll see loads being re planned. Might have a few companies upset when you shut down 30 min away. Might have an up side though, companies might realize they need to make adjustments to the pay scale, lol. I just crack myself up.
