e-logs sticker on truck

electronic logs can be any form that's electronic. they don't need to be tied to the trucks ecm.

never heard of a reg that states certification is required to have those stickers on the truck. but i've heard truckers don't get asked for them as much.

when i'm asked for my logs. they don't ask to see my 7 days or how my laptop works. they just usually want to see what my 11/14/70 look like.

only been asked for my print outs once.

 

I don't know about the reg for the decal but look at the violations these drivers got regarding the on-board recording device . http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS/Data/BASICs.aspx?enc=pm9iYhlA51///nHxb1sU8g==

 

I don't really care about "him" nor anyone else who doesn't understand the difference in a OBRD and a using a computer program to pretend that they are running electronic logs.. they do so at their own peril...

 

Except the fact that you are simply making paper logs out on a computer..

 

Well here is your chance to address it.

I run DDL and they have told me it is NOT compliant.

Here is one that has another opinion

 

doesn't matter how the logs are done. a computer is electronic. and everytime the cops asks for my logs. i whip out the laptop. and he says. OH, ELECTRONIC. most of the time they just say nevermind. but they've been looking more lately.

i use trucklogger.

my logs are generated just like a QC. to which both devices are electronic.

 

There is not.

 

We use Loadtrek. There is no certificate from them and they have not been questioned by scale personnel. The instruction sheet though is important, we had a driver lose his and he got cited.

 

Under the current EOBR standards you are correct. Under the coming AOBR standards as proposed the unit MUST be tethered to the truck's ecm.
