Did anybody get inspected for ELD yet?

I’m in WA and a train derailment caused traffic chaos. So drivers got a break.

 

1 of our trucks got inspected in Motley, MN at a rest area this morning around 8am. The DOT officer told my driver that he had inspected 15 trucks already that morning and all had ELD in them, but NONE of them were working? 0 for 15, my driver asked him what he told the other truck drivers, the DOT officer told him he told the other drivers to write on the bottom of their paper logs "eld not functioning" and they went on their way. Crazy 0-15.

 

So drivers just need to write that and go on their merry way.. wow no ELD mandate!

 

I believe they have 8 days to fix the malfunctioning unit.

 

My buddy got stopped yesterday evening for a level1 inspection @ MD scales I70 EB he said the officer didn’t even ask for no type of elog or logbook.

 

3 times since I've been at Landstar.

1) Washington = Dude spent like 10 seconds with it. Level 3 Passed
2) Arizona = Dude spent like 10 seconds with it. Level 1 Passed
3) Arizona = Dude spent like 15 minutes with it. Level 2 Passed.

It's hard to F/U.

I have spent several nights in the bushes just minutes short of the truck stops though, cause I would not have made it.
You must keep an eye on it, and have a plan.

 

Oh yeah...From Banning too.I got the new sticker on my windshield for the truck, but got kinda warning on E-Log.No problem here.

 

That's amazing if the officer didn't write them up as violations, but maybe they're going to be gentle on the enforcement front for a bit?

 

The unit I'm using also has a fairly significant issue, and I hope we can get it resolved this morning.
