Hi, I'm a new driver whose been driving CDL A semi with an ELD, but my company occasionally wants me to drive a commercial vehicle without an ELD. I've always declined in the past.
But now they want me to take the company half-ton pickup truck for a two-day delivery job. It doesn't have an ELD. So, how do I account for the driving and non-driving time? Can I enter it into my ELD somehow, or do I have to put it on a paper log book?
If it makes a difference, my ELD is JJ Keller and it links with my tractor before it will record drive time.
And they want me to go NOW, like leave YESTERDAY!
Any help ASAP would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I would use paper log but remember you need to have previous 7 days record on paper to be legal in case of inspection. -
Do what your company tells you to do or find another job.
Not meaning to be rude to you. Do what the company asks or you'll probably be fired.
Edit: @Snailexpress recommends a paper log book. Do that if you're concerned. That's perfectly legal as a temporary fix.
If it were me, I wouldn't even stop at the scales, driving a pickup truck. That's just asking for problems if you do.Last edited: Jul 6, 2020

if its not a CMV you don't need a log book, but you will have to account for those hours when you go back to your big truck

Why refuse work?
This isn't a big deal.
Just use paper logs, you should have some anyway as a driver.
Do what you are supposed to do when logging paper.
ONE QUESTION - did your company show you what to do when your ELD fails?SoulScream84 and Coffey Thank this.
