This is actually an employee friendly application. CDL drivers have driving hour limits. Software like this prevented companies from getting around the laws by removing the delivered that reached the daily driving limit from available drivers.
Going back to paper is how they get paid. Not how they don't get bullied into unsafe conditions.
Its a garbage system. If you move the truck it just logs your drivers on, so if I go at night and hook a truck up to a different trailer or something, the machine will log onto the last driver of the truck. Now when he gets in in the morning for the shift, the computer is telling him he only has 6 driving hours left. You spend more time changing and editing e logs for issues than you ever did paper. Administration costs are higher. The perfect system would be paper logs, backed up by a gps chip. So they could still investigate the trip if an issue came up.
Same with check in at the MGM in Reno. I was in line at the Circus Circus last night and a bunch of people were saying it was a couple hour wait to get a room over there.
The Panama Canal is shut down. Now truckers are having problems recording their driving hours via computers. Hmmmm....better start thinking about stocking up on a few essentials. Gonna be a hard cold winter and you'd better have a couple of cans of beans to fall back on.
For truck drivers the digital was designed to prevent companies from forcing a driver to drive hours that are illegal because it's unsafe. This specific tech was employee friendly. The driver was simply not able to be scheduled until they had their rest time. They couldn't ask for a double shift, or to finish the job, the system just removed the employee from the list of available employees.
Just like a ballot, can't hack paper and pen

Most of them get paid by the mile or load. The drivers have work around for just about every system out there.
RaaS is serious. It's not being taken seriously, but paper paperwork is best for many things.
