LOL... the first week I used an electronic log... it was a Qualcomm many years ago... I went one minute over my 14 and 11 and 70....![]()
All because I didn't know how to use that crap and had difficulty disengaging from the trailer... and I rushed bobtail to a truck stop and as I entered the truck stop that darn machine said that I had committed all those violations... I screamed out loud, grabbed that thing and almost threw that crap thru the window....
Now... with this new change, driver said we can't even use PC (personal conveyance) if we have an empty trailer..... I wonder if the mechanism will detect whether or not a trailer is hooked...
So.... if I am delayed by accident on the road or traffic and rushing to park, won't I be able to use a few minutes on PC to park because I have a trailer...?
And BTW... what happened to allllll that talk about the new HOS? I thought everybody wanted to get rid of those stupid and useless 30 min break...? They make us more unsafe than before...![]()
What if it Snows?

The first trip out one of his drivers got caught in LA traffic and ran out of hours. The ELD started beeping at him, softly at first and then progressively louder and faster and louder and faster. The driver couldn't get off the freeway, the traffic was bumper to bumper, and the ELD was going faster and louder...and he kinda snapped.
He picked up his stainless steel thermos and beat that SOB to death. He kept hitting it until it was quiet. Little plastic pieces and wires all over the inside of the cab . Total destruction.
He had to replace it when he got back to the yard but the word got around and we all pitched in to help him pay for it
I know the guy pretty well. He's usually calm and quiet but the ELD screaming at him on top of the LA traffic was just a little too much. Made for a good story around the dinner table at family gatherings. He's my brother.RidgeRunner731, Opus, Cattleman84 and 9 others Thank this. -
