Mailbag: Answering ELD Mandate questions, and more trucking views

In this Overdrive Radio podcast edition, Senior Editor Todd Dills answers a few ELD-mandate-related question and rounds up commentary coming in on the podcast line: 530-408-6423. Commentary has reflected fairly strong opposition to the mandate by and large, with as much as 85 percent of readers -- in a poll still ongoing at OverdriveOnline.com -- noting they’d do what they could to avoid running with an electronic log of any kind. Half said they’d rather retire or look for another line of work if they couldn’t avoid it with the short-haul exception under the hours of service rules or a pre-2000 truck. Such trucks are notably exempt from the requirement. Find Overdrive's complete coverage of the mandate via this link: http://overdriveonline.com/tag/electronic-logs
