Is the ELD mandate’s pre-2000 exemption simply delaying the inevitable?
At least one analyst says yes, within 24 months of the ELD mandate going into effect, “nearly everyone will need an ELD, whether they like it or not, purely from a market standpoint.” That’s not a universally held viewpoint, however.
December 12, 2016
11.8% — That’s the overall pre-2000-truck share of total operating Class 8s on the road today, according to RigDig Business Intelligence, a sister business of Overdrive. Such small numbers – and smaller non-ELD carriers’ control of more than half of the pre-2000 units – leads FTR Transportation Intelligence COO Jonathan Starks to conclude that the market for such vehicles “will be very sparse. If somebody has an old truck that is in that good of shape and they don’t like the ELD rule, they aren’t selling.” Small fleet owner David Morin suggests a lot of such equipment could be subpar, given many engine rebuilders “don’t know their a– from their elbow.” He did manage to find a good runner early in 2016, though, a story told in part at this link. “I’d rather buy a truck that is in a junkyard, blown up or whatever, and pull it out and rebuild it so I know what I’ve got,” something he believes may be happening a lot over the next year. “If I was younger and this mandate went through, that’s what I’d have been doing – I’d do it properly and would take pictures all the way through so that I could show, ‘Here’s living proof of what I’ve done to that truck'” when he went to re-sell, if he went to re-sell.
