    Yeah those are the ones we got! It's the insurance companies that are wanting to have them fitted, I'm not sure but I think you get a reduction in your premium when fitted.

    I bet he was older and if asked thinks computers in general are hard to learn.

    Nowhere did you say it was from a single DOT inspector. You implied that DOT does not like them.

    HE, was a SHE, and not that old. and knows how to operate a computer. and says they ALL hate the qualcomms. but they hate peoplenet the worse.

    and on another note. another qcom user rolled over in indianpolis. and that driver didn't survive.

    Qualcomm is the easiest to read it looks just like a paper log. If DOT wants to see your last seven days they can in a graph and/or text format. Peoplenet is a mess if they want to see your logs you have to fax them.

    Trucks were wrecking long before Qualcomm was invented.

    I'm just guessing but I'm sure this has been anticipated. My guess is that there's an original "read only" file stored somewhere and even if the elog is tampered with it can be compared to an original. Then if something looks fishy it will be investigated further for tampering. Considering how this is basic security, I'd be shocked if this wasn't the way the system works.

    I'm sorry if someone addressed this before but this thread is very long and I haven't read through the entire thing.

    I'm not sure if I tried to address that in this thread or another one, but there should always be a record of the original status and the status that the log was changed to, the time the change was made, and who changed the log. Although I was told that Quallcom had no such record, I find that difficult to believe.
