Electronic Logs

Oh okay, yeah that may be different than actual elogs then

 

Its strictly by a poor interpretation of the regs.

 

I don't know why anyone would show alot of on-duty time at the end of their shift, even if they are unloading or loading for a few hours, that could be logged as off duty time, I think even the Elog drivers can log that as off duty.

 

No, no! If you do that as soon as you get back on the road you're going to kill a family in a mini van..

 

I would.

I was at a GP yesterday, was In sleeper for 2 hours and on duty for 30 minutes. That's right, I tarped and strapped in 30 minutes..... on a 48' load of plywood...... in the cold wind....... While I sang "bad boys, bad boys" from COPS

 

Find it funny that some admit to basically running illegal.
These people give various excuses as to why.

I have a feeling somehow that has something to do with the Govt wanting to mandate ELogs.

Or you can go along with the OREIDA (purposely misspelled) BS, The Govt is really trying to put the Small Guys out of Business.

 

Do we need to become lectronic comic book certified to operate such a device or do they allow any Joe schmoe to operate it. I would think it would be a distraction for the average Joe to focus on these lectric comic books, Qualcomm, GPS, mirrors, speed, gauges, traffic, etc all at the same time.

 

You cannot be serious

 

Its hard to do two things at once

 

You aren't distracted by the Qualcomm or elogs while driving

Lose the GPS, it isn't needed

I find it extremely easy to scan over my gauges, keep my speed to acceptable limits, keep track if traffic, and keep an eye on my mirrors. It's an adjustment called "driving a truck"
