OK little boy, go into a chicken coop and asked them to teach you how to run a log book, guess you don't have the smarts to do you it yourself, I have had e-logs go out and had to go to paper, Guess what? no VIOLATIONS, Before you comment you should learn more how it works

My point is simply that they can find a reason to get you with it.
I do not need to be told or instructed how to do log books.
This thread is basically bringing a big problem into the light of day. When a company puts in ELOGS and says they will send them at any time and then you find they are not there like this guy, it brings forth a problem.
If you notice, I am not defending the facts as to the log violation for the current day. I am addressing the issue of the previous 7 days.
The FMCSA claims that these logs can be faxed to the scales and dot officers when needed. We find now this is not true. So, when the driver goes in with no books thinking they can be faxed and this happens, going out to the truck is too late.
Maybe you will not be having the issue, but you might eat crow sometime when you have it fail and do the quick write up and have an accident that does not reflect the correct information.
There is no reason to become a child in the forum. -
So if your log goes down at 6pm and the log dept closes at 5, you have your log you started at 6, and you have an email to them requesting the documentation and stating the time, date and location of the failure.
It is going to be very hard for DOT to put you oos for this, and it is going to be even harder for them to make it hold up in court if they write you a ticket because you have done everything at that juncture that you are capable of doing.
The OP did not start a paper log, even in his post it says he called the log dept AFTER the scale pulled him in.
As well had he done his due diligence he would have been able to fight the termination because the ball would have been in their court not his.
Additionally it is not about making a paper log match what was in the EOBR it is about getting the printout from the EOBR and having the paper log continue on where the EOBR left off. -
In the event the office closes and qualcomm does go down, then it can get worse.
Yes, it is correct on the current day log. However, if the qualcomm was down, I think a phone call should have been made long before arriving at the scale.
In the event it died as he entered would make no difference in reality as far as the DOT is concerned. Both were no logs.
There are a great many issues.
A friend of mine had his go down and was able to get the information from his company quickly. I wonder what he will think, the next time I bring this one up so that it is in mind for future reference. -
Roadmedic Thanks this.
