straight ELD mode!

The ELD is mandatory by the end of this year, so you can leave superior and go to another company, and mr. ELD will be waiting on you with open arms. Good luck with it

 

Again, it's the brand new 5mph thing (company decision), not ELDs. I've been using ELDs for 5 years.

That's fine, but I can think of 3 system loads that require us to sleep at the shipper, start our clock and log on duty after we finish loading, then (sometimes) sleep at the customer. Otherwise we will run out of hours before delivery. Unless they want us to OD from the customer to the tank wash. Trolling around the shipper at 4mph won't cut it, so I'll have to refuse those loads now. Never really liked the stress of those loads anyways.

I'm still waiting on the yard move option. My navigation hasn't even worked the past 2 days. Funny thing, I like to combine my pre-trip with fueling when I start my day. I never realized how far the parking lot is from the fuel islands until I had to go 3 mph lol. Hey, did you just get the message about them assigning points to our logs? Enter micromanagement.

 

5 mph isn't company, it's fed for ELD. Even under 5 mph if it decides that you have moved, it goes to drive time. Can't be edited. Only way to change that time is admin switch it to another driver

 

The 5mph thing isn't a company policy, it's a federal regulation. We haven't been on ELD (Electronic Logging Device) for the last few years, but rather were grandfathered under AOBRD (Automatic On Board Recording Device) rules.

We just switched over to ELD ahead of the final compliance date which is at the end of the year. Like anything else, it's going to take some getting used to.

 

I was told it was a company decision, not law. Technically this is true if the law doesn't go into effect until EOY. So I guess everyone on the road will be suffering soon lol. I have a feeling this will clog the fuel lanes even more.

Always thought our Qualcomm was an ELD. Never used anything else. My mistake.

 

We had AOBRDs they were almost like ELDs. Everyone called them ELDs but a real ELD has that 5mph limit. It does take getting use to. Dispatch has to learn and is now going to see all the work drivers do. That's a good thing because it will force them to change. You don't have to worry about 5 minutes Driving from fuel island to parking spot. Driver very are so hooked on saving every minute. Instead use the ELDs to force dispatch to give better runs and don't worry about 5 minutes here and their.
