E-Logs

Point being....Log keeping isn't just for showing DOT you're legal....
It's also your pay check......

 

Amercian i have been on them for about 7 months, it was not that bad!
Once you learn how it "works " you can pull some small tricks. But
Miles did not fall, with epes . Feel free to pm me if I can help!

 

So on a paper log you can (legally) stop the clock?.....Please tell us how.....

 

I think people worry WAY to much about e-logs. I have them. Have had them for a month or so now. Honestly I think it saves time and like WCP is saying it's nice to have something right there that shows I was where and when exactly when I was suppose to be. Have I run over before... Absolutely. Nothing major I think the worst was 15 minutes. Nobody ever spoke a word about it. Just like with paper what are you going to do when the clock strikes 0:00 stop on the side of the road.

 

AT eLogs aren't going to cause you as much headache as you may think. I know that you can trip plan, I've read some of your threads about it. Since you have an understanding of the HOS and how they work eLogs will change very little. You seem tech savvy so I would say a week or so and you'll have the eLog system down. Check with the company to see what their policy is on using the split sleeper, and how their logs are calibrated. Does it flip to driving after .7 miles, 2 miles, 5 miles? Then ask if they allow Off Duty (PC).

Best of luck to you, I think things will go well for ya.
