Another failed e-log monitoring

All I know is, I drove FAR more hours with FAR less sleep on paper then I did with eLogs. And I suspect I'm not the exception either. So if it's about safety, that's one thing, if it's about the pay check, that's another thing. But dead people can't cash checks so what's the point?

Are eLogs perfect and insure every mile is driven in a safe manner? No. But they beat the hell of what we had before. They (eLogs) changed the entire culture of trucking, and that was the first need. Let's be honest

 

There is one reason they can on elogs and not paper is on elogs, they know your duty status NOW!

 

Yes. And the driver knows their duty status now. What's your point?

 

No, dispatch knows the duty status now. With paper logs, how do they know your duty status at any particular time?

 

I don't think the OP likes elogs ...

 

Well, with bleeding on the brain (aka subdural hemitoma), she'll liked get great sleep with a medically induced coma now. Then she'll look forward to at least several months relearning basics, like how to chew and swallow, how to talk, walk, etc. I spent a year intensively retraining a young man that didn't believe in seat belts back when I was in college as part of my field work. Unfortunately he never got back more than enough skills to live outside an assisted living situation. Ever.

 

There is nothing wrong with E Logs. It's the 14 hr rule that's forcing driver's to keep driving when they are fatigued. You could stop and take a break anytime you wanted to for as long as you wanted before they came up with this idiotic regulation.

 

Elogs will end the careers of drivers that stop all the time and need 20 hours to drive 600 miles.

 

How often does something like this occur though? I for one know after sleeping I can't fall back asleep after having just slept for like 8 hours.
