Are you the administrator of the account?

 

be aware,,, once the mandate takes affect all ELD's will be set to line 3 <5 mph..

 

Also be aware that all ELD's require power to operate. Just saying...

 

Let's not be smart. Many ELD'S now can have that speed set to what they want. The mandate will change that

 

Yes you can. Also you need to make sure the settings are not for the Eld. You want them set to the automatic onboard recording device settings. There's a lot more flexibility in that setting. As long as that setting is in place before December 17th you have a two-year grandfathered in. To operate in that setting. You may need to get a hold of customer service at big road and have them help you with that.

 

My company is using KeepTruckin with the lastest Elog standard and we are in compliant with the new DOT Mandate. Cant go faster than 5mph without triggering on duty status. We can use Personal Convence if we are bobtail, or empty and not under dispatch meaning no preplan load. The DOT left the maximium mileage for Personal Convenience up to the carrier to decide. My company limits us to 100 mile on PC.

The real drawback I have with Personal Convenience according to my carrier is that it is clearly stated in the Government's mandate that you are still under dispatch after you unload. Only after you get to your terminal can you use PC to go home. So, after you unload at a customer, you cannot use Personal Convenience to empty home. Personal Convenience can only be use to go from lodging to get meals and back. DOT does say it is ok to use PC from home to your company's terminal and back. This is my Carriers interpretation at this time. I recently got in trouble with my carrier for using Personal Convenience to come home from a customer 240 miles away after I emptied because I went over 100 miles which triggered the violation to be look at. And i should not come home with PC because I was short of hours. The customer is not my terminal, so I cant claim that I was using PC to go to work and back home. In other words, rest 10 hours, before deadheading home even though it was 4 hours away.
