Schneider Implementing Electronic Logs
Schneider Implementing Electronic Logs
Quote:
Schneider National is moving to electronic logs for its more than 13,000 drivers after a successful pilot program showed gains in productivity and safety, and test drivers who swear they'll never go back to using paper log books.

During a panel discussion hosted by Qualcomm at the American Trucking Associations' annual management conference recently, Don Osterberg, Schneider's senior vice president of safety, said "electronic logs were probably at the top of the list of things we were interested in pursuing" when it decided to beta test Qualcomm's new MCP200 system, which has just been made commercially available. Osterberg, a big safety advocate, believes that based on the pilot program it's been evaluating, the change will boost efficiency and reduce accidents.

I work for their bulk division and I was told that we were going to be getting them installed on our trucks after the van fleet. They are supposed to start installing them within the next two months. Bulk is estimated to begin the program sometime in the second quarter of 2010.

There are arguments on both sides...if (as a driver)...you are already accustomed to running legal, not pinching off minutes or responsibilities, and if you are the type who gets the computer/paperwork done efficiently, then you probably won't have any problems with the program.

On the other hand, if you are the type of driver that just drives till you are too tired to go any farther, don't keep up a log, don't handle the paperwork well, and don't know how to manage time effectively, this will cause major stress and heartache for you.

There are going to be problems involved with gliches in the system, issues with LEO's and their systems when the two don't "communicate" with each others systems...dispatch overrides that can backfire and we all know when this happens...it's always the drivers fault!

OtherhalfTW, When you say it's the drivers fault thats an understatement. I firmly believe when dispatch at Schnieder calls a driver at 5:45a.m. like "KEN" board 5533 and swears at a driver he should be fired immeadiately. I do not know his last name or I'd put that on here. Kevin La Comb being a DBL should get a backbone and stand up for the driver as well, not say because he swore at me first I had no right to say the same thing to him thru the qualcomm. If an accident would have taken place I wonder what would happen.

What does this have to do with electronic logs? Answer NOTHING. This is a thread about electronic logs, not some personal vendetta you have against somebody.

YankeeTexan, That may very well be. But Its exposing dispatch for something they have no buisness doing and it something you read, other people will read and word is getting around. It may not be the very exact board but as it was said by other people electronic logs will hopefully prevent accidents and this is a safety issue as well.

So then start a new thread TIMMM. This one is about electronic logs. You having an issue with somebody in Green Bay has nothing to do with safety.
