Truckers...Take care of yourselves

I think the experienced drivers are leaving in droves. Regulations are killing them. A pro driver these days has one job, out race their electronic logs. I went from cruising along at a rate of 60 or so, to a minimum of seventy the day I got electronic logs. I will put up with them until the weather changes, (if I can) and after over 20 years, and not a scratch to my equipment in over 2,000,000 miles, I will be done. I'm sure my replacement will land up in another similar vid.

Yup, I already told my company when I have to go electronic, I'm done!

They spew the crap about electronic logs create a safer driver, better time management, blah blah blah.

It does just the opposite. You have to hurry more, drive faster etc just to get the job done.

AND with today's steering wheel holders, trucking has taken a crap. I just passed a guy the other day, driving barefoot with his feet propped up on the dashboard driving down the road. :banghead:
