Oh what fun! Elogs

Hmm the Elogs are saying I have more hours left on my 70 than my paper ones??? Hmm I guess I follow the Elogs. Today was my last day of doing paper logs.

I made nice little airplanes and flew them all over the Petro today!! No more worries of Swift log violations!!!

 

Oh I got all my logs and it feels grrrrrreat that for the first time I did not have to touch a log today! Actually feels kinda strange??

One thing I noticed is since we are now on minutes I will log off duty anytime I stop to use the bathroom. hey it will all add up to something by the end of the week.

I am a little confused on one issue. Why would I log on duty not driving if I am sitting at a shipper or consignee waiting to get Un loaded or loaded? Sometimes I may have to wait for hours and I either climb in the sleeper or I go down to the store,
break room or so on.

Would it be better if I logged it in the sleeper if I had to wait five hours or off duty not driving? Seems to me it would be really pointless to log on duty not driving when you are either sleeping or having a break of some sort in the break room.

What I have been doing is logging when they actually start on me. If I logged all the time I have waited then this would chew up my hours. I don't get paid while I am sitting Unless it's over a certain amount of time so why should I log it on duty?

 

If you are required to keep a log then eventually you will be on them sooner or later.
