ECM Transport editing your log books s you have two 16 hour day

It is that statement in the fmcsr that gives the driver the right to file a complaint with the state dot where that company is based at. If you didn't make the change or notated the note then it is a violation to the one who did. It also helps to have proof. If it is qualcomm then you can go online and print out the change they made. Mark it and send that to dot with your complaint. When dot looks at it if they find that what you say might be true they will go in and do a company audit. But if you already got a fine from dot for it then filing a complaint now might not float.

 

Also on that note. The company can make changes to your logs only if they have your approval with what exactly needs to be changed/corrected and to what. After that they have to print it out and you sign it for record the next time you are at the terminal. With out you asking them to make the changes they are not allowed to touch your logs.

 

From what i've heard, most drivers that have complaied to fmsca about their companies experienced little or no help from that POS agency.

 

No one forced you to break the law...you should've let them fire for refusing to break the law...reputable co's don't care if you get fired for refusing to break HOS regs, but they do care if you got fired for breaking regs & therefore won't touch you for that reason....

Next time a company wants you to break the law...say NO..& hold your ground!!

 

First, you broke the law. Sure, they did, too. But, all you had to do was tell them "I'm out of hours, sorry, can't do it." And then go park somewhere, go home, what have you.


They can't fire you for that. Just make it real clear, in writing, either by email or qualcomm (something traceable), that you are not violating HOS for them. And the second they updated your logs, I'd have sent one nasty AND LONG qualcomm to them explaining that they are in violation of HOS and you will NOT be complicate in their actions.

If they fire you, great. You will do more for you, and trucking, in the ensuing time than what you're doing now. A company still running, and you without a job or income.

As for big companies, many times the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. So, the five skids is just a big miscommunication between two parts of the company to not relay the needed info (that the load was pulled). But the fact they'd so brazenly edit your Line 3 to accommodate the pick up just reeks of trouble for them. And I'm guessing this wasn't the first time this has happened.

This is one of the reasons why I am against EOBRs and the company 'holding' your logs. You don't have any paperwork to back up anything you said.

I drove for CR England and they went to EOBRs during that time and was always uneasy not having direct access to what I'm 'signing for' at the end of the day. My friend ran into an issue when the Qualcomm experienced problems. He was driving through Montana and was pulled in for an inspection. He had them fax a copy of his logs to the scale. Now, to CRE, his logs had been fine and not triggered any violations. However, the statuses were all screwed up. In fact, it had shown he was in SB (Line 2) the whole time he was DRIVING that day. Now, the officer agreed that with EOBR that was impossible and obviously a mistake. However, he still received a violation on his inspection for Status not current.

Something with the relaying for CRE from the Qualcomm on the truck to their headquarters worked fine until it was stored was corrupted. Yet, the logs department, who store copies for finding violations showed him in full compliance for the whole week. His qualcomm screen showed his logs to match with what the CR England logs department showed. However, the faxed copy (i.e., the official copy) was corrupted.

And the driver gets the ding on his CSA for it.
