AVRT Drivers loggin day off on E -Logs (qualcomm)?

I don't work for Averitt, but if my understanding is correct, this would apply there as well. An elog is incomplete, until approved. It's like signing a paper log, when signed it's states that you approve the information you've provided on it. Also of the understanding is that if you get asked for your logs to be faxed into the scale, at an inspection, it will not fax logs that aren't approved. So one would probably be cited for now being able to provide 8 days of elogs. My understanding is that you can't just hit the approve button and get them faxed immediately either, as it takes a while for them to be processed through the system. So there's a little information to consider at least. Hope it helps.

 

to the OP your over thinking this
no need to shut off the elog
you go off duty after your post trip
you go on duty for your pretrip
doesn't matter if it is 10 hours 34 hours or 6 days
you do need to approve the days you were off
you only need to sign out of an elog machine if your truck goes in the shop so that the mechanic doesn't go on duty if he is test driving it

 

Well Ill have to take a look at mine, I go back in tomorrow sometime and when I go in Ill have to approve and will check out the resource material in the book all on my 10.

 

I've been on E-logs since the beginning....When you go off duty at the end of your work week, you log off the computer. The reason why.....If some one else moves the truck (the shop, yard personnel, another driver) and you are not logged off, your logs will be charged....which means you will not be credited for a 34hr restart or 10brk. You must approve your logs daily....if stopped by the DOT and you have not approved your logs, you will be charged with a violation.
Before you log off at the end of your work week, make sure you are showing OFF DUTY, then approve your logs, then LOG OFF the computer.

 

Do you slip seat?...If so, then you must log out of the computer at the end of your shift. Even if you do not slip seat...it's a good idea in case one of the other drivers truck breaks down and they use yours.....Remember..., log off duty, approve your logs, then log off the computer.
