Total Hours Available Tomorrow

thank goodness. well my next question was going to be how did the other driver think this was ok, lol

 

With 120 drivers, elogs might not be a bad idea, as they are coming anyhow. My guess is 2 to 3 years until they are mandated, either by the FMCSA or Congress.

 

i wonder if anyone realizes that e logs can be changed, not by the driver but at the office. its not like they are set in stone once the in cab unit logs it.

 

It's a fairly easy switch. We switched 380 drivers to eLogs in a period of 3 months. Lost about 75 miles per week in utilization. Probably a good idea to start focusing on your best practices before hand and pounding trip planning and HOS into your drivers before you make the switch. Then put someone on call to answer the ridiculous questions that are sure to pop up.

 

Most are even set up so that the driver can edit lines 1, 2 and 4.

 

He had 7 hours available, what if he was on duty 10 hours but only performed a safety sensitive task for the first 7 hours? Maybe he did paperwork for 3 hours after he parked.

 

Yep, I think you misquoted me. I'm talking about other drivers, not the driver in question. I ramble and what not.

 

i am speaking of line 3
