Cost of Shipping

2018-03-28 18:17:26.591312+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Washington Post: Why the costs could go way up to ship anything. Short version: ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices) become mandatory for commercial vehicles that travel over 150 miles a day on April 1st. The article is has a number of small businesses crying excessive regulation, but... this means that dispatchers won't be able to screw over drivers by pushing them to make time on impossible routes.

So, yeah, the cost is gonna come from actually keeping drivers to sane schedules.
