E-logs and Reality

Yep! I know what you mean.

 

Leave that funny business to the meat haulers and bull racks.

 

Leave it to the loosers who can't figure out how to run a load before they screw it up.

 

What I told a guy with my company today. rumor has it they are loking to go t elog soon and i am a little scard about trying to do it. paper is what i knew and i knew had to work around little prolems that happen.

 

well i have said i wouild run from elogs well been on them for 2 weeks now and honestly still runnin between 2500 and 2800 miles a week.. and still home on the weekends.. and gettin rest now im not so grumpy and sucha pain in the ###..lol.. i admit i was wrong there not the greatest got stuck 2 hours from home last night partly bad plannin on my part.. but over all.. so far that is .. not big diff except now i dont mind goin into the scales anymore..lol.. truck safe everyone

 

i liked the one call yesterday on the lockridge report.

driver was 3 minutes from home. and his company told him to park for 34 hours.

i didn't catch all the details though. but i hope he didn't sleep in his parked truck and went home instead.

i don't care of i'm 2 hours from home. I'M GOING HOME.

 

After two weeks running elogs I can say I was correct in my statement they would make absolutely no difference in my job.

I have found a couple flaws like when I took vacation and returned I could only "approve" the last seven days of off duty status. While that covers my butt the company had no record of the other seven days being approved. Safety says they have them in the system and are looking into it.

Also with the DVIR being separate now I catch myself remembering it the next day I have started doing yesterdays immediately after I finish PTI for current day so I can build that habit. We currently as a company have no way to turn these in.

Again Kelvin says they are "working" on it.



Took about two minutes to set the panel up so I hear no speech, pings, beeps, and I keep the display blanked because I hate the reflection in the windows.

Actually seems faster than paper to me, and I don't have to double check my math. Pulled into scale and asked for the fax number so I could try the request function. Took about 3 minutes. Officer was kinda surprised it could be requested that easily.

 

Gotta love the made up fantasies people concoct to make absurd points. Nobody is stopping three minutes from the house. Difference is now a consistent pattern of violating the law will be recorded instead of falsified as before.

 

3 minutes from home and Company said he had to take a 34??? WHY? a 34,must have really run the doors off for 7 days if thats the case

 

I set up a gmail account and send them weekly there for record keeping if I ever need it,
