With the new DOT e-log, a trucker basically must give up his 4th amendment rights while driving. Literally every action the driver takes is data-logged, and made available to cops, insurance, regulators, etc... The latest round of rules implemented this past spring had the effect of reducing available truck capacity by 15% in an already tight market. They are incredible bureaucratic over-reach, all done in the name of "safety" with of course zero evidence.
I’ve heard that a long haul trucker can be less than a mile from his destination and if he’s reaching his hours limit he must stop.
Reminds me of the end of THX-1138. It excellently and comically made fun of this sort of thing.
