DOT now checking Qualcomm?

It's a matter of saved records.

Many companies maintained records for up to 6 months. Voluntarily.

Now they're required to. The data can be used during audits, but is primiraly used for accident investigation.

Records will include GPS positioning data. Time run for the day. Hard brakes. Speeds, coasting, and a lot of seemingly irrelavent data.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about. As long as you run 100% legal at all times.

 

well if i owned a company i would not have qualcomm.just another way to blame the trucker.

 

The only way they can blame the trucker is if the trucker is doing something ILLEGAL!!!,....

 

Just so you know, a friend had an accident where the other occupants were injured and in hospital awhile. The attorney for them requested the log books for the 6 mos before and after. Of course no one has the copies this late.

They requested the copies of his cell phone bill for the month involved along with the BOL and are still looking for more info. You know they will be looking at the times of the calls and the towers involved.

 

The attorney's know exactly what to look for! If anything is questionable you will be hammered on the stand about it.

I know that. My friend who never believes me, will no doubt find this out. I suspect that they will find there was not a 10 hour break between some phone calls that might have hit towers and some others made later in the 24 hour period.

 

No Qualcom, No Pre pass, No I pass, No Cell phone, But the Telegram offices are getting harder to find.... I do use my Cell phone, but I try to be where my Log says I am at.
