The trucking industry is in trouble due to restrictive Electronic Logging Device (ELD) regulations that force drivers to rush and mandate excessive downtime.

Existing ELD regulations are too rigid, leading to unsafe driving practices and inefficient use of driver time due to mandated 10-hour reset periods, which do not align with real-world operational needs.
