Federal regulations imposed upon drivers makes it difficult to recruit.

Almost every cross country rig you see on the highway has a sign on the back: “Hiring drivers...”

**Almost every cross country rig you see on the highway has a sign on the back: “Hiring drivers.”**

I passed one a week or so ago that someone modified. Instead of “NOW HIRING DRIVERS”, the W had been peeled off. Lol

**Federal regulations imposed upon drivers makes it difficult to recruit.**

The elogs stop the cheating on hours, but there are plenty of times that a driver gets in a traffic delay that pushes his delivery ETA beyond his remaining hours of service. Then comes the 10 hr shutdown (or even the 34hr reset). Sometimes a driver only needs a extra hour or less to make a delivery. There needs to be some sensible flexibility in the elog rules. But the bureaucrats don’t use common sense.
