How did I miss this? Can now use personal conveyance to leave a shipper loaded

That what I mean they don’t even check E logs

 

I'll tell them that next time I get inspected at the little scale in Henderson,Ky.

They sure do check elds. Even familiar enough with ours to check summary, available, and ask for a paper log book, instruction card, and spot edits.

But next time I'll just tell them "Hey you guys don't check elds so go away"

I am sure he will just send me on my way

 

LOL.

You must have the wrong Elog driver. Get a VDO that prints the 4 ft long grocery receipt and you can roll on after they give you a ticket for some other BS

 

Meh... Yea and no... In most cases that you/we/I roll thru a coop, the LEO knows who (pretty much) runs Elog and who doesn't. and the times that I have been pulled for inspection, only twice have I even been asked about my log... Most times they look at it and move on; Assuming that since it's Elog, I can't fudge things. And for the most part (since I am company) they are right. As long as I have all the proper things, and don't cause any hate and discontent, they look onward. They have a job to do and so do I...

Appearance, attitude, and cooperation go along way

But when Mr So and so comes thru with a shady looking tractor, they may (or may not) want to "check things out" to make sure. Cause they know that people like me cannot simply unplug the Elog. Log out yes, but then that opens up another can of worms for another conversation...

...and again, I speak in very broad terms. Common sense goes along way, but then I'm a steering wheel holder, in a company truck, that can barely go 65... At least to the experienced among drivers.

 

Some will. I’ve had 2 the past 6 months spend a half minute or so going through the console and a few others prefer the elogs be emailed to their desk.

 

But you aren’t required to email them correct? You have the choice of email, usb stick or printing them? Trucking company choice not the cop?

 

(a) This section does not apply if an ELD produces a printout for use at a roadside inspection.

(b) An ELD must be designed so that its display may be reasonably viewed by an authorized safety official without entering the commercial motor vehicle. For example, the display may be untethered from its mount or connected in a manner that would allow it to be passed outside of the vehicle for a reasonable distance.

4.8.1.3. Information To Be Shown on the Printout and Display at Roadside
(a) The printout and display must show reports for the inspected driver's profile and the unidentified driver profile separately. If there are no unidentified driver records existing on the ELD for the current 24-hour period and for any of the previous 7 consecutive days, an ELD does not need to print or display unidentified driver records for the authorized safety official. Otherwise, both reports must be printed or displayed and provided to the authorized safety official.



Folks use the email to meet those parameters. Ours will also undock and can be carried into an inspection. We can also fax, email, or print them.

 

I would say it's up to the leo. This is from 395.24
(d) Driver use of ELD. On request by an authorized safety official, a driver must produce and transfer from an ELD the driver's hours-of-service records in accordance with the instruction sheet provided by the motor carrier.

 

Sounds like The driver can print and hand it to him. If the Leo demands a email the driver can say nope here’s your toilet paper

 

I had one in Arizona go over mine with a fine toothed comb.
