I'm not sure about that. I thought e-logs were satellite communication. Many a time when I was on e-logs with no phone reception I still had e-logs and GPS running.

I think the communication systems are all cellular based aren't they?
Teletracs uses the ATT network.NavigatorWife and Vilhiem Thank this. -
I'm thinking the OP may have overhead a driver caught up in a lie. Probably has a bad service like T-Mobile and didn't have reception for days. The wife and girlfriends complain. He invents a story just short of tin foil hat syndrome, then keeps retelling it so he can start to believe it. Kind of like an actor rehearsing his lines.
Vilhiem Thanks this. -
T-Mobile doesn't have bad service, but it is weak in certain areas.
Sometimes not there at all.
But I had the same problem with Verizon at times as well.
The thing is, T-Mobile is so much cheaper.
A 20GB line with Verizon cost me $120 per month, while I spend $40 with T-Mobile.
And yes, I have a few days more a month that are weak or not there on T-Mobile. But the cost savings are worth it. -
You boys on the east coast have it made compared to us boys on the west coast. The west coast don't have half the coverage the east coast does.Vilhiem Thanks this. -
