Two elog books?

That won't work as two logs. You log in with your employee number. You can drive 10 different trucks in one day and it all goes on the same log at the company.

 

He's right. Instead of scheming how to cheat, figure out how to make the regs work in your favor.

 

Basically, make more $ than a bull can defecate in as short amount of time as possible, and you're the cats pyjamas - elogs or paper, don't matter.

 

Yep, and if you do not log in, there is a report that Safety does called MWH (Miles Without Hours) that can be looked up who put miles on the truck without being logged in.
As with paper, be legal and you will have no worries. If you cannot be legal, well you are the reason we all have to deal with ELD's. Thanks a-hole!

 

Actually, if I recall your history, you're with a small employer.

So - you'd have to log into the other truck with an ID - or falsify said ID, then you'd be right up poop creek without a paddle if everything turned pear shaped.

 

So now we need to have two company ID #s......that way we can do the ol' "dropped the co-driver off 300 miles ago" trick. Hmmmm I'll ask safety to make me up another one.

Seriously, it will be interesting to listen to how guys are figuring out how to cheat the e-logs. I'm on paper and am going to enjoy it while it lasts. Unless Trump manages to kill e-logs.

 

Joplin scales recently colluded with OK/NM/AZ to haul off a driver that said he was "Dropping off and picking up co-drivers across I40", turns out the video footage at the other state coops clearly pictured just the one driver . . .

 

Thats actually not surprising. It'd be hard to prove in court the co-driver wasn't sleeping in the bunk, but you're right it you have 15 hours of evidence with the same driver, it'd be hard to fight.

I know my company tracks me via satellite. I kinda want to ask if it tracks me in real time only, or if it tracks me as a day by day record. I'm sure an audit couldn't request that data if it was tracked.

My first company the e-logs created a "map" of where I was. But I think it went off my logs to create the map. That would be a very dumb oversight to have a map showing my days activities, and my logs showing something else.

It's all such a a game. The right answer is to run legal.

 

It's the best reason yet for getting the wife a CDL, or girlfriend with one.

I drove with some Jughead years ago that could never do his shift. I'd pull over a few miles before a scale and wake him up.
