Not being able to edit logs

The notion that 100% of human drivers are never, should never, or will ever make a mistake or forget to make a change [100% of the time] is just ridiculous.

Not to mention many touch screens can be touchy and some systems are slow and clumsy and don't accept input changes like you thought they should.

Being able to edit non-Drive time is a requirement, not a "nice option".

 

A guy rushes to a bathroom and forgets to click whatever and can't do anything about an e-log falsifying the true event? I thought it was about logging the real events and not what an e-log dictates. There is going to be a way (figured out one way or another) to edit whatever the line needs to be edited, after all it is still a driver who signs to certify a log page (?) and they cannot be forced to certify anything untrue.

 

At extreme scenarios when an e-log goes down (for whatever reason ), you can still drive, can't you?

 

Negative. I overheard a truck driver at the coffee counter at a Petro that in the event an eobr device fails, the vehicle must immediately be stopped and await a tow truck to move the vehicle.

It was a Petro so the driver I heard this from must be a trustworthy and reliable source.

 

Right! I can see myself e-log stalled on I-80 in WY waiting for a $20 000 fee tow truck coming to rescue me.

 

You can't book so much work you stess yourself out over 48 minutes.
