Shhh. Don't give big bro any new ideas!

The truth is many big trucking firms have these devices in thier trucks
already. Years ago the company that made those machines called them
"Tach-O-Graph" and they printed indentations on a paper disk. The new ones
are obviously a bit more 'fisticated' and in most states are legal in place
of paper log books as each driver had his on module he plugged into the
machine on the truck.
