Did the DOL have any figures on how many of those driving jobs were people quiting a carrier, and going to another? I always seem to miss that part in these studies...New figures from Labor Department show trucking employment upswing in recent months

"Prime, Inc., No. 14 in the CCJTop 250, has filed a lawsuit in federal court against mega-retailer Amazon, alleging the company infringed Prime’s trademarked use of the word “prime” on trucks and trailers.
Prime is seeking to recoup what it claims are monetary damages over Amazon’s “prime”-marked trailers and an injunction against Amazon continuing to run trailers with its its Amazon Prime logo."
So when someone gets a CDL that a 3rd party skill tested them, and they crash shortly after they get the license, who is going to get looked at? This has liability written all over it. But also would bet the big truckload carriers who go thru 95% turnover rates had their lobbyists pushing buttons on this proposal.Comment period opens for proposed CDL testing changes

Yeah. For some asinine reason nobody has figured out, we are requiring "certified electronic logging devices". Nobody knows what that means, and our expectations are no different than yours.What American Carriers Need to Know About Canada's ELD Rule
https://www.truckinginfo.com/335653/what-american-carriers-need-to-know-about-canadas-eld-rule
"American carriers currently using ELDs will have to have their devices certified before operating in Canada. There are few guarantees that you current supplier can meet the Canadian requirements, or that the vendor will even try to certify in Canada."
Yeah. For some asinine reason nobody has figured out, we are requiring "certified electronic logging devices". Nobody knows what that means, and our expectations are no different than yours.
All it really means is that the device must recognize our slightly different Canadian rules. Canadian HOS differences are:
16 hour Day
13 hour Driving
24 hour period runs midnight to midnight
Day off deferral
36 hour Reset
75km unladen personal use
No mandatory break period
Your work hours are counted not just based on having the required time off duty but also total hours from midnight to midnight. This is one of the reasons for the 16 hour day, as you may need to stop before midnight to get some time back. It's...really stupid, to be honest. Day off deferral allows you to buy yourself a couple of hours to get home if needed at the end of the week by chewing into your day off. As long as you still get your 36 hours off you're good to go.
And for the most part this probably won't affect you guys.
Split sleeper provision is for teams and allows you to divide your time up virtually as you please. But because of the 24 hour clock it can be a giant pain in the ass to track.True. no effect on us. I did find the requirement to "retain 14 days of previous daily logs" a bit excessive. Irrelevant, but excessive.
Curious about the details (not provided in the story), only mentioned, on the the split-sleeper provision and driving north of the 60th parallel. Again, no effect on us, but interesting.
