Hose was put out of service with a false-log violation in Missouri early in June, as his One20 ELD was giving him problems en route a couple weeks prior to the company stopping support for the device on June 18. For Hose, his run with that particular ELD is one marred by inexplicable automatic duty-status changes and other malfunctions he can’t explain to this day, His story is one of difficulty, generally, as a direct result of selection of an ELD provider. This talk with him reveals how inspectors and state-patrol personnel are handling en-route malfunctions, and how you can be prepared for one should it happen to you.

A brief run through the mailbag with disheartened haulers affected by the shuttering of the One20 F-ELD just a couple months beyond the April 1 out-of-service enforcement date for the ELD mandate. And a more extensive talk with produce broker Pam Young, well-learned in old-school ways, preferring the personal touch to digital standoffishness when it comes to building relationships with carriers. Among subjects of discussion: Adjustment (or lack thereof) to mandated ELDs, honesty in transactions, what happens when a load of cherries goes awry, communication and bedrock trust in business relationships.

This edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast picks up in part from where we left off in the intro last week with a note from Carolyn Carroll on the utility she finds in paid parking reservations. You can find our report, “ELDs up the ante on parking”, on the growth in those (reviled by many but appreciated by many as well) and much more besides at OverdriveOnline.com. In our talk Carroll lays out her now seven-year tour in trucking both in team and solo operations, as a company driver for a time and now leased –- she’s recently refinanced a lease-ending balloon payment on her 2015 Freightliner Cascadia she’ll be entirely finished paying off over the next couple years. The 5-foot-4 owner-op cuts a unique figure among most highway haulers, and she addresses the dynamics of being a woman among a largely male-dominated profession, hauling, as well, though one among a clearly growing cohort out there no doubt.
