    Just so everyone who thinks it's my fault please understand that the computer broke inside the truck and I couldn't fax to the scale house from the truck. No one was in landstar log dept to fax to me because they go home at 500 pm. My ticket wasn't for not being current it was for not having no records of hours of duty status . This means I waited an hr for Qualcomm to fax the logs and they said that the fax machine was broken at the scale house. When 8 am comes I call landstar they fax me my 8 days. I start paper go to Qualcomm repair site they put a new one . It works fine by the way it was a whole week between ticket and canceling my lease. I forgot to mention that me and my log auditor don't get along because when I explained what happened she didn't want to hear it. She had it out for me because her boss cancelled me 1000 miles from home.

    I work for SNI and never had a problem reaching the log dept. Give them a call, you can run the Choice Program. With your experience you shouldn't have a problem, jumping right in.

    I have had the scales tell me that their fax machine did not work when I needed paperwork faxed in the past. Now, with the elog issue here and needing to fax them, now what do you do?

    I had a scale tell me the same thing. What I really wanted to ask was what citation do they get for not having functioning equipment for e-log review.

    Shoot I have mine go out multiple time while I was driving down the road just glad I never got caught before I stopped next and was able to get the paper ones out. I know with mine I can pull them up on my phone but I can't with this #### windows 8 tablet there for can't print but can reproduce close enough for the badge if need be.

    I have been lucky and they have never looked closer than to see what it is showing at the time but heck I can run all day off duty and it never changes or attempts to every change is done by my hand or Safety.

    If you get stopped at the scale in San Simone AZ they will not let you use their fax machine period. "It's not for public use" is what they'll tell you.

    I marked the fine section in Bold for you.
    [h=3]DOT Issues Proposed Rule Requiring Electronic On-Board Recorders for Interstate Commercial Truck and Bus Companies[/h][h=4] Department Continues Groundbreaking Partnership with Cornell University to Engage Public in Rulemaking Process [/h] WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) today issued a regulatory proposal that would require interstate commercial truck and bus companies to install electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) to monitor their drivers' hours-of-service (HOS) compliance.
    The proposed rule would also relieve interstate motor carriers from retaining certain HOS supporting documents, such as delivery and toll receipts, which are currently used to verify the total number of hours drivers spend operating the vehicle. This part of the proposal fulfills an order of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia requiring FMCSA to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding supporting documents by January 31, 2011.
    "We cannot protect our roadways when commercial truck and bus companies exceed hours-of-service rules," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "This proposal would make our roads safer by ensuring that carriers traveling across state lines are using EOBRs to track the hours their drivers spend behind the wheel."
    EOBRs are devices attached to commercial vehicles that automatically record the number of hours drivers spend operating the vehicle. Several carriers, including Schneider National, Maverick USA, J.B. Hunt, Knight Transportation and U.S. Express Enterprise, have already installed EOBR technology on their fleets. Approximately 500,000 carriers would be affected by the proposed rule.
    Under the proposal, interstate carriers that currently use Records of Duty (RODS) logbooks to document drivers' HOS would be required to use EOBRs. Short-haul interstate carriers that use timecards to document HOS would not be required to use EOBRs.
    Carriers that violate this EOBR requirement would face civil penalties of up to $11,000 for each offense. Noncompliance would also negatively impact a carrier's safety fitness rating and DOT operating authority. In April 2010, FMCSA issued a final rule that mandates EOBRs for interstate carriers with serious patterns of HOS violations.

    "This proposal is an important step in our efforts to raise the safety bar for commercial carriers and drivers," said FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro. "We believe broader use of EOBRs would give carriers and drivers an effective tool to strengthen their HOS compliance."
    This proposed rule also continues the Department's partnership with Cornell on the e-Rulemaking Initiative, an important step toward keeping President Obama's promise of opening government to more effective citizen participation. The Cornell e-Rulemaking Initiative (CeRI) makes the federal regulatory process more accessible to the public through Regulation Room, an online public participation environment where people can learn about and discuss proposed federal regulations and provide effective feedback to the Department.
    Citizens can find more information on the Cornell online effort and provide comments on the proposed rule at regulationroom.org over the next 60 days. The Department of Transportation encourages participation in this rulemaking through Regulation Room, but the public may also submit comments to the DOT docket at regulations.gov.
    The comment period begins once the proposed rule is published in the Federal Register. The proposal and information about how to submit comments is here.
