Are electronic log books the answer for truck drivers?
With over 12+ years experience working for various companies at the Ontario Food Terminal, I see the implementation of e-logs as a detriment to industries where perishables are being transported.
In theory, are there any reasonably alternatives to these e-logs, keeping in mind what's best for everyone involved (trucking companies, drivers, customers, overall health and safety, etc)?

Thank you Jay for the response. I'm aware that these ELD's are government mandated. My question was more hypothetical. My aspect of the perishable industry (wholesale fruits/veggies) has a very archaic way of thinking and I do not believe they are prepared for how their business will be impacted. For the most part, these wholesalers do not plan and forecast like the retail chain stores.
Long haul or short haul, in the futue I see every one of my customers requesting team drivers on virtually every load, which is obviously not feasible for these trucking companies.
