    Could be worse I got put in a new truck couple weeks ago and my peoplenet calculates the 1/2 hr rest break off the old rules and not the new rules. Also found out last week when doing split breaks it doesnt show correct amount of hrs was showing i had 6hr 54min in 14 when my log department said they were showing i had 9hr 50min in my 14.

    Also learned we all were trained wrong on how to approve logs on peoplenet. I had to correct over 200 days worth of logs, one by one, once our terminal on this dedicated told us how to do it. So far they said over 100,000 logs from all drivers have yet to be accepted correctly and need to be redone.

    Get pulled over for an inspection, they can hit you for the last 8 days and its on you even if the company originally gave you wrong info.

    On top of accepting the log everyday you also have to request logs and accept it again. You only get the last 8 days so have to login to the actual peoplenet site and view your logs to correct the rest.

    @radioshark advised me to do it thru the website portal instead of the unit. I was having the same issue with logs showing certified on the truck, but not on the portal. The events list would even show that I had certified a specific date's logs, but it would still show uncertified until I did it online. Since I started doing his way, the only time I have any issues is if someone in the office changes something, then I have to accept then re-certify. . Shaffer advises us to request logs daily.

    Shaffer better appreciate us experienced drivers. A couple weeks ago, I replaced my own red brake line and gladhand, thus saving them an after hours road call and labor costs(and I am still waiting on reimbursement for the parts though). Then today, I finally fueled that reefer that was out of fuel that they sent me to pick yesterday. 48.6 gal...then had to prime the living crap out of it, but I got it up and running w/o another service call or shop bill. Maybe I should get my own tax ID and start charging them labor and parts (with a slight price mark-up of course)

    That sounds like corporate mega reasoning there.
