    I have no clue what he means. He's a big time safety guy that thinks alien's teleport innocent by standers out of harm's way.

    One of the posts went missing so i simply suggested that the other one doesn't make much sense without the first one. Btw do you guys know how much data your ELDs are streaming into the office? In case you have an ELD in your truck that is.

    They can see exactly what time you started and turned your truck off as well. When you hit the brakes hard, took a curve too fast, accelerated too quick. You can set it up so it gives you warnings whenever event like this occurs and your Dashcam if you have one uploads automatically 1 minute video of the event to the system. Office staff don't care much about it unless there's an accident or shifted cargo. Btw the truck's ECM holds hard brake events as well. If you hook up a computer with software you can see exactly at what time the driver pressed the brake, how hard, and what speed was he going with. That's one of the reasons they impound the truck if it was involved in a serious accident. Another is to match the record of the ECM to your log books.

    Oh yeah! We all live in mansions and drive bugattis. After a year Safety officers are financially set for life but once you catch the bug of looking at drivers logs, you just cannot stop.
