    I'm curious how other companies are dealing with miles without hours on elogs. Are they assigning them without contacting the drivers, or do they contact you first? What happens if you say no? Do they have policies in place for that?

    If you are out of hours, you can't turn any miles. Plain and simple.

    I get that, I'm looking for ways companies are addressing the issue. There are about 5 common ways to fool an electronic log, however most of these methods generate miles without hours, essentially showing an increase in the odometer without any corresponding driving. Just seeing if companies are just assigning time to driving, giving warnings, changing ACDS settings, letting it slide, etc?

    Falsifying logs will get you a really big ticket. Some companies will go in and change your logs to correct it and some will give a warning.

    I've never heard from a company about miles without hours, one place didn't care really, they just wrote you up two months later on the internal audit system and took away your safety bonus, another carrier ( you were once there) took away all our edit functions so I assume they just assigned the hours, and where I am now we have almost full edit function and all my logs look good all the time.
     
    Meltom Thanks this.

    some use the "personal conveyance" line on elogs.

    Others shut you down the next morning when the computer flags your violation. previous OTR job.

    and my last company, the terminal manager got a text message on his iphone, telling him you were driving over hours, and he met you at the terminal... you got the next day off, without pay, and would loose 10% of your safety bonus. We returned to the terminal everyday, but were on elogs... actually made the day much easier.
     
    Meltom Thanks this.

    I like this, we've talked about something along these lines, but have yet to implement it.

    You cannot use "personal Conveyance" to advance towards your destination under dispatch. It will eventually be caught in an audit. If you can't run legal, find another line of work.
     
    Scalemaster and Meltom Thank this.

    We're going with the touchy feely approach. I call drivers out, explain why what they did was wrong. If they agree to change it they keep it, if they don't I enter a remark and remove the PC option.
