Thousands of truck drivers are organizing a strike in a Facebook group called 'Black Smoke Matters' — here's the origin of the provocative name
One of the many consternations ELDs have brought to truckers such as Franklin is limiting parking at truck stops. Because most truckers are now working around the same time every day, they're also populating parking spots at the same time. So, many truckers aren't able to find a place to park their truck and sleep at night.
"The public won't support them on such a question," Belzer said."To the extent that public is at all aware of the ELD, they're going to think, 'Why not have an ELD? It sounds great.'" "It's going to be very difficult [to strike] without recognition that workers have a right to organize," Belzer said.
