Just tell the DOT officer that you thought it was like paper logs. You can just change it as needed to fit your driving record. Ha Ha

If its not connected to the eld dongle/you arent assigned to one by your company then yes, it functions as you (ducktart) say. Its basically a paper log on your phone.
On the other hand, as siinman says, when attached to the ecm dongle. drive is unable to be editted, and much more. Any edit will be tracked and each start and stop of the engine, a single day can be as bad as 5 or 6 pages just to read through the eventlogCoffey, Sirscrapntruckalot, God prefers Diesels and 1 other person Thank this. -

And if your J1939 pin gets a loose connection from a big boot bumping it, it puts a red dot.
See ELD red dot.

Ducktart will have problems in some states with some troopers who check if the ELD is synching with the ECM/odometer. It will count as a violation but not OOS. I don't know how closely the DOT follows carriers who are non-compliant in this manner. Doesn't seem like many states crackdown on this type of non-compliance.
