Truckers say an electronic device that measures the hours they drive each day sometimes leaves them

2. I agree.

I drove long before all the technology was around and I ran 20hr days regularly, take a few days off and do it again. Things were a lot different then too, like the way highways are configured and actually existing-some interstate hwys we're not there back then and many were incomplete. We had a lot of two-lane travel back then. But you could make it work because you chose when to rest, when you needed it rather than at some mandatory time. And we checked our rigs because we did some of the maintenance on them and knew what to do. The name of the game back then was to get from point A to point B as fast as you can with as few problems as possible. And there was considerably less traffic on the roads in general.
