“Drivers that initially lose miles eventually may gain more miles and more pay as carriers use ELD date to better manage drivers and utilize equipment within HOS limits.”

5. What Does ELD Enforcement Mean to the Driver and to Your Delivery?
IMC Operating Companies have had ELD’s for many years with the focus on driver safety and compliance. The difference is that the new software has no room for idle movement in the truck.
The result is the driver is on the clock at all times as soon as that engine starts.
The Driver is under pressure to maximize time because drivers are paid by the move.
Drivers are running out of time for longer hauls, overnight fees have been instituted.
More hub and spoke opportunities FMCSA enforcement sending notifications for every minute over HOS.
There is no flexibility for the driver.
