Anyone got a ticket,,,

"Do as I say, not as I do" comes to mind. 'Round here, we have a word for that.

 

Reputable ELD providers will give you 24/7 support and nowadays, there's no excuse for them not to be able to do minor remote fixes. Once you notice your ELD's broken, you notify the company in writing, get a copy of your logs, on paper and the company will let you know what needs to be done to fix the device and what you should be doing (if it's not a quick, remote fix, they will typically let you keep going until you get to a convenient service centre for your device brand).

ELD's really fall under 'you get what you pay for'. That is why the proposed Canadian mandate will have a formal, independent certification process, as opposed to 'I'll just self-certify my quick buck-making, fly-by-night piece of junk'.

 

Not exactly a violation but it sure is strange how a 65 mph truck can do 817 miles in 10 hrs.

 

That's not the only problem. Good luck explaining how you manage to only have a few minutes of line 4 time every day. At some point, you need to fuel, load, unload, drop, hook, etc...

 

Hi, Craig

 

My guess is they will wait until December 10th or so to roll it out, then when everything crashes and burns they will whine to FMCSA to get an exemption as they didn't have time to implement it....
