The trucking industry is in significant trouble due to over-regulation, especially with the ELD and changes to hours of service rules, leading to operational inefficiencies for drivers.

The ELD and current hours of service rules create inefficiencies by forcing all drivers to stop at similar times, making it difficult to find parking and disrupting the previous flexibility drivers had for managing their rest and driving schedule.
