    Has anyone ever seen an E-Log magically change duty status all by itself, from off duty to sleeper birth?

    This has nothing to do with driving to on duty & vice versa.

    I go into work and I notice the QC is on in the tractor I'd been using. Usually its off. I get it, fire it up, and notice I'm currently in sleeper birth.
    The problem is that now that I'm Daycab Dave, I have no sleeper birth. The other problem is that it was for 48 minutes. Had I logged into SB by mistake when I left it would have been like 11 hours in SB, not 10 hours 12 minutes OD, 48 minutes SB.

    I think some SNEAKY BASTAGE is fooling with me.
    I myself don't fool with peoples equipment.

    Opinions please.

    You may not have turned it off. It may have been in sleep mode. It woke up and with a dirty screen, may have thought you were touching sleeper berth.

    Edit your log from sleeper to off duty simple as that. As for someone messing with you, I'm with the others maybe a dirty screen

    For it to have been on, log dept or QComm could have sent it a software update, and the status change could have been from your log dept using your truck as a teaching/learning situation internally.

    Was the tractor locked? Do all the tractors have the same key? Wondering if one of your co-workers did it. Maybe log completely off the Qcom if you're not going to be near the truck for a few hours.

    I would bet my coat, my hat, and my house cat that one of the other drivers did it.
    Yes tractor was locked, but there are keys floating around everywhere, you can get copy at Home Depot for $1.70.
    Did just what you said, made sure I logged out now. Since I'm the Eff Enn Gee I have no assigned tractor, I'm just like fly sh**, I wind up in all of them.
