Why CSA 2010 and E-Logs are a good thing.

Where in the regs does it say that? You can even show line one at a shipper I can even show line 5 at a shipper/receiver.

 

That's how you can guarantee they will have you loaded. As soon as you doze off someone will be beating on your door telling you your ready.

 

§ 395.2Definitions.

So a driver gets to a plant 15 minutes on-duty to check in and get in the door and just encase does a post trip. Then goes into the sleeper for 2 hours while they unload. They knock on the door your unloaded. OK says driver. Is it OK if I park in the lot I'm hungry I'm going inside and get something to eat. Sure says the worker. Driver parks truck in safe and secure spot then logs off-duty for 1 hour while he and the other drivers eat lunch and talk trash. Driver calls dispatch they say he will be picking up there. Driver checks load will pick up early next morning so he uses PC to go to Wally-World for 2 hours then comes back to plant and shows sleeper berth for 5 hours when they come knocking on his door load is ready.

 

probably is, depends on company policy and Ethan.

 

freddie kruger are we?

not too far off, this elog thing reminds me of invasion of the body snatchers

everytime i turn around, another company is on elogs

 

I was thinking more like

 

Is it just me or are there some E-log guys on here that are out of compliance with HOS? Haha I know I know we all are but I thought it was funny..

 

its about covering the bosses rear

too many drivers didnt know how log the new way, so they were piling up violations, so the govt came up with elogs and the sheeple are eating it up

mind you, if the govt hadnt messed with the old rules, things would be simpler and less violations, but that would be too much like right

 

You always follow company policy which might be stricter but....

The question is one released from all responsibility? If your employer allows you to sleep than I would say you are because who can be held responsible for stuff when they are cutting zzzz's. The way it usually plays out is you are woke back up and at that point you are back to responsibility.


My last employer wanted us to maximize our time and had their own log compliance dept. They never said a word about SB at a customer nor did the auditors. Sometimes you might be on a dock several hours which takes you past your 14. Those cases we would sleep on the property or finish the break outside the gate if you could.
