E-log Poll

I hang up my keys in October to start my new job, no travel required. Good luck guys. I said I would quit before eld and now it is coming to pass.

Again, good luck. Another viable profession ruined by meddling government goons

 

Some people arent as submissive as others

 

Ok so if you drive several miles , (or even just enough to make the odometer register a difference in mileage from where it stopped last) creeping, how will the difference in mileage be accounted for? Someone will have to put some correction remark in and then there's the GPS record.....? I don't see how one can rectify the difference when logged in as something other than driving....?

 

Ways to log movements (i.e. the odometer changed) :
- On-Duty, Driving - regular mode for hauling freight & work-related driving, just like it has always been (counts against the 11 and 14 clocks, of course)
- Yard-move (On-Duty, not driving) - new ELD mode for moving the vehicle slowly at short distances across a yard, but not out on the "open public roads." Does not count against the 11-hour clock, but does count on the 14-hour. Flexible speed and distance if in AOBRD mode in settings determined by the Admin. OR, under 5 MPH if in ELD mode, flexible distance set by Admin.
- Personal conveyance (also called "Off-duty driving" in legacy AOBRD units) - "Line 1" driving that is unrelated to work activity. Unloaded. Does not count against the 11 or the 14 clocks.
- Unassigned Movement - this is a movement during which NOBODY was logged into the ELD/AOBRD. This one will show up in the Admin area, and a wise person/company will put a remark there in case of an audit over the next 6 months. They should either assign the movement to the driver who forgot to log in, or they should put a note like "local terminal employee moved the vehicle to staging lot 7", for example.)
- Generic driver movement - this is a generic ELD/AOBRD logged in account CREATED IN the system. For example, your terminal mechanics, your terminal yard-workers, etc. They log in and make a remark of why they were moving the vehicle. No speed or distance rule. This is typically not an HOS-required person (i.e. NOT a long hauler) and therefore if the Admin set this user as "not ELD eligible" then these movements do not count against any HOS clocks.

Usage tip: always put the screen into "Yard Move" or "Personal Conveyance" first before making those movements so that nobody has to edit it later.

 

Sounds like nobody actually knows how ELDs will log your time on Dec18th. LOL
