You will be amazed what a small 29 cent, rare earth magnet from the local craft store/ hobby shop will do to E lect ronical gizmos. Makes the stored data look like the Northern Lights.

Law states a connection to Power Train Control Modules to record braking, acceleration and cornering (?) GPS seems to be separate as written from the Automatic On Board Recording Device. All I read was there is/ was to be an hours exemption for Perishable loads. Pointless to fret til the law is finalized, speculation and such is moot. J.J. Keller is in business to sell their product , via any means possible... implied fear works wonders

I don't mind Elogs, what bothers me is my Marmon, DM and R are pre electronic so how can I comply with the AOBRD. Heck my "modern" electronics are a CD player and a cigarette lighter power port adapter for my GPS.

There is nothing simple when you have people with no experience in the field making rules. Here is the FAQ from the FCMSA page EOBR/ELD and E-Log Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is an electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) or electronic logging device (ELD)?An EOBR or ELD is an electronic device that is capable of recording a driver's driving hours and duty status automatically (the older term "EOBR" is being phased out and replaced by "ELD"). Are EOBRs or ELDs required?The FMCSA wrote rules in 2010 that would have required certain carriers to use EOBRs, but those rules were subsequently removed. The FMCSA published a proposal in March 2014 to require ELDs for all drivers currently required to log. What is an automatic on-board recording device (AOBRD)?An AOBRD is an electric, electronic, electromechanical, or mechanical device capable of recording a driver's duty status information automatically as required by 49 CFR §395.15. AOBRDs are currently the only regulated devices for automatically capturing a driver’s hours of service. The device must be integrally synchronized with specific operations of the commercial motor vehicle in which it is installed. At a minimum, the device has to record engine use, road speed, miles driven, the date, and time of day. The proposal released in March 2014 includes specifications the new ELD must meet My drivers do their logs on laptops and smartphones. Are those considered AOBRDs?These devices are not AOBRDs unless they are directly or indirectly connected to the engine to automatically collect the required movement and speed data. Such non-integrated devices are allowed for logging but the driver must be able to produce a compliant paper log on demand. First and foremost, electronic logs can greatly simplify compliance by eliminating the need for paper logs. Drivers and carriers see significant time savings from going paperless.Some of the most common logging violations can be eliminated. Virtually all “form and manner” log violations go away, drivers always know where they stand on compliance, and drivers always have a current log. Alerts will tell driver when they are approaching an hours-of-service limit.Besides making compliance easier, electronic logs make auditing easier and faster. The systems typically come with automated auditing built in.Roadside inspections can be easier and quicker.Scheduling and dispatch become easier because office personnel know the location of the vehicles and how much time drivers have available.Location, engine use, speed, and other data captured by the devices can prove valuable during litigation or other legal proceedings, potentially protecting both the driver and company. What happens if an AOBRD stops working?If an AOBRD fails, the driver must: Note the failure of the device;Reconstruct his/her logs for the current day and the previous 7 days, less any days for which the driver has records; andContinue to prepare a handwritten log until the device is working again. Can the FMCSA request our GPS records during an audit?Yes, records from Global Positioning Systems (GPS) may be subject to audit by the FMCSA (whether those systems are a part of an e-log system or not). Such records are considered "supporting documents" for hours-of-service compliance, and must be maintained by the motor carrier for six months. The FMCSA may use GPS records to verify the information contained on drivers' logs, even if the company does not do so. What has to be carried on the vehicle in addition to the EOBR itself?A driver using an AOBRD must also carry: An instruction sheet describing how data can be stored and retrieved from the device; andA supply of blank logs (records of duty status) sufficient to record the driver’s duty status and other related information for the duration of the current trip.

Thought the mandate stated in October that the AOBRD could be electronic, electric, electro-mechanical or mechanical ?

There are 12 other people who always help out with donations, transportation or "slave labor" good or not, it is the right thing to do. Good feeling to help people who would otherwise be alone on a holiday. I spent 2 Thanksgivings and a Christmas more or less alone in the Army, vowed I would never let a fellow vet or current service man be alone if I could help it. we ended up having dinner with 146 Vets, oldest was 92 and the youngest was a mere 25, including 3 Vietnam era combat nurses. Best part was at the end of the day we all gave Obammy the bird.

Reuters: 11.26.2015 US President Barack Obama Thursday delivered a Thanksgiving message in which he compared modern refugees to the pilgrims whom the holiday celebrates, urging Americans to open their arms to the potential immigrants. "Nearly four centuries after the Mayflower set sail, the world is still full of pilgrims -- men and women who want nothing more than the chance for a safer, better future for themselves and their families," Obama said in his weekly address, referring to the boat on which the pilgrims arrived in the New World. Thanksgiving was first celebrated by the group after fleeing religious persecution in England. For many Americans, it has become a family-oriented day marked with an enormous meal of roast turkey, an assortment of side dishes and a slice or two of pie. "I've been touched by the generosity of the Americans who've written me letters and emails in recent weeks, offering to open their homes to refugees fleeing the brutality of ISIL," Obama said, referring to the Islamic State group.The shootings and suicide bombings have stirred fears in North America and Europe that jihadists could seek to blend in with refugees in order to strike later.Immigration has taken center stage as an important issue ahead of the 2016 presidential race but reached fever pitch following the deadly Paris attacks earlier this month. Obama himself faces a barrage of opposition to his own plan to resettle 27,000 refugees in the coming year. "People should remember that no refugee can enter our borders until they undergo the highest security checks of anyone traveling to the United States," Obama said. "That was the case before Paris, and it's the case now." Obama also reminded listeners that Thanksgiving was not just an opportunity for people to give thanks for their personal blessings. "On this uniquely American holiday, we also remember that so much of our greatness comes from our generosity," he said. Bull Crap!!!
