Changes to QC logging parameters

IMPORTANT NOTE:
These changes, to my knowledge, apply only to SNI drivers.

I found out this tidbit today from a QC message sent out by my dbl.

Just in case you didn't know, haven't gotten the message yet or for whatever reason; our logging parameters have changed.

- rolling 125 feet will now log you as driving or on duty and your clock will begin.
(Used to be 1 mile)

-if your clock begins in this manner and you didn't log a pretrip (some of us are forgetful), then try to add it in at the end of the day, it will show in your logs as a grey color. This tells everyone, SNI, dot, ect, that your time started and you didn't properly log your pretrip.

-repeated violations (unclear if it's just missing the pretrip on your log, or if you edit too much like above) will result in a CTE.

If anyone knows anything else or if you have questions, let me know and I'll try to find out if someone else doesn't have the answer.

(I legitimately do forget to flip myself on duty for my pretrip. So being able to edit my logs was a lifesaver. I'm not forgetting to do the pretrip, just the logs.)

 

...there's still a way to beat the system I suspect.

I'm both proud and hesitant to admit that finding flaws in a system is a specialty of mine.

Doesn't mean I abuse/use the flaws... But it's fun to know about stuff like that.

I'm just a couple months shy of a year experience...but this has really made me re-think sticking with SNI until my year is up.

Dot needs to mandate that companies do it as the book dictates, period. Not give carriers the ability to do it more strictly.

I get that folks abused it, I really do.

 

Maybe SNI could see there was an edit made after we approved them. ...the difference is that the dot couldn't see the edit.

Prior to approving your logs though no. My dbl has called me once when I took a 30 and didn't go back on duty prior to unloading. I changed and edited them to be correct prior to her call, she still couldn't see it a good 15 minutes after the edit was made.

Anytime I hear someone is running paper logs I make note of their company for later use... After I ask if they'll trade with me for "easier logging."

So far all they do is laugh...haven't had one taker yet.

 

I would prefer the E, ours doesn't show a darn thing.
