Driving to safe haven while out of 14 HOS

Hey 'olhand, same here. I couldn't imagine having this to worry about , in addition to all the other things to worry about. Any place I ever delivered to, they couldn't care less how long you had left to drive, and if you told them, they'd probably milk it even more. Back in the old days, I used to keep a red pen handy, and if I ran out of hours (which was no big deal) I'd continue my paper logs in red ink, with the footnote, "forced to run". It didn't have any merit, but sure looked fancy.

 

i know alot of people are going to cry but you shouldve kept quiet they never wouldve known

 

cuz, with the elogs. we can comment. "SORRY ANNE FERRO. I REALLY DON'T CARE."

can't do that with paper, becuase, well, paper just looks good no matter what happens.

 

Sooner or later, this would have been noticed either by the trucking companies safety department or tharough an audit by the D.O.T..

 

Logs entries must be in 15 intervals. Elog rounds up or back depending on the min. 6 minutes should have gone backwards,,8 min would go forward to the next 15 min.

The trick is to look at the whole picture,,if unloading is slow and you are going to get stuck, ask for the name of the person in charge of the unloading,cause you need the name " to put into your report "! Just let them be aware the delay is on them,,,and you sure wouldn't want them to get in trouble. Be proactive.

 

I agree with this. What would be a better alternative?

 

Hi Oldman, apparently, you've never been to SuperValu in Green Bay. (or places like that) Hey crankee yankee, is SuperValu still around? I know, they'd laugh in your face.

 

only on paper logs, elogs log to the MINUTE, are are required to log to the minute in the regulations for elogs.

 

Any my way you do it, your #######.

With my system , if I start driving and I pull over after 3-4 mins, I can quickly change the driving status back over to either sleeper, or off duty, whatever I had it as before, I can't guarantee that everyone else's will be the same... As far as determining wether it works or not on your particular e-log, next time you log out of your device for a reset or whatever, just put it into drive status and then let it run 3-4 mins and then quickly switch it over to the previous status (sb or off) and just see how it works
