My elog broke and I ran paper for 1st time

Op, you would have had a blast back in the day when they only required us to rest for 8 hours and on paper logs.
I still remember when it changed to 10 hours and I thinking what the hell am I going to do for 10 hours...
I couldn't imagine being on E-logs..

 

Filling out paper logs and doing all that drawing and math is for the birds.

 

I hope u had ur elog unplugged during all this or u might awaken to a big surprise if it starts working again. That thing never stops tracking u unless u unhook it from the engine computer

 

I miss paper logs. AOBRD was a pain. ELD is worse. I am angry that we are mandated to use something for which the technology is not sufficiently developed. My ELD screws up all the time usually during the night when I am shut down and in the sleeper. So then it magically fixes itself but for 8 days leaves a big exclamation flag saying use paper logs. Arrrghgh. And yes, I do sometimes drive like a crazy person to get to a parking area that is 15 miles away and I only have 13 minutes left. $#!$@! That.

 

LOL. When my ELD went live on December 17th, I had a little orange dot that showed up on the screen at the bottom for 8 days. All because I drove 7 minutes past the 30 minute break requirement.

I was only 5 miles from my drop yard and only had 36 minutes left on the 14 hour clock when I said screw it and went 7 minutes over. Dropped my trailer and used PC to my home which is only 5 minutes from the drop yard.

This is the sort of stupidity these rules create.

The orange dot did disappear and I'm a clean man now

 

We must sacrifice u to the elog gods u are a hardened criminal and must be taken off these crazy streets

 

Yeah, I was envisioning what I would say to a LEO if I was inspected and he made a deal of it. I determined in my mind I would of said to him, "IMPEACH ME, PLEASE!"

 

During a level one inspection I have had to email LEO my last 8 log days right there on the spot.

 

If only someone would have told you guys this you could have helped fight the eld with some of us.

 

You have always been required to carry eight days of logs. 8 days is the most you must present. Nothing stops them from looking further on a roadside.
