Hello I was testing elogs at a former employer and the #### thing would put you in driving pulling forward from the fuel pumps.

I call it giving no.slack, and some are set up like that.
He did say they were trying the system out.
The old style People net we had would detect reversing into the dock almost as soon as you started moving, in effect, going south towards a North facing dock. -

I know a friend who was using that same system with no slack mentioned being put on the drive line moving from parking to the pumps in a truckstop.
I also remember someone dogging it on an arterial making sure to stop at every light, and when the lights were gone, so was he, driving the box instead of the truck. -
IMO, the only people who need to worry about the EOBR mandate are the ones that eke out a living hauling cheap freight for companies that expect them to show their comic book to DOT when they get pulled in for an inspection.peterd Thanks this. -
Those aren't issues with an eld. They are issues with the current hos.peterd Thanks this. -
Scenario 1: you are correct. The FMCSA says that even if you are stuck in traffic, you cannot "make up" those extra two hours later in the same shift. So therefore it will indeed log those as line 3.
Scenario 2: actually there IS a provision for this. Any decent ELD maker will have built in a "yard move" mode. For example I recently tested one that allowed for up to 5 miles of movement as long as it was under 10 MPH without putting the driver into the drive line. The FMCSA allows for this scenario to legally allow for your concern on this one.Timin770 and spyder7723 Thank this. -
One other BIG concern i have that i really don't like, is this is MY truck. i use it when i am off duty on vacation to pull my 5th wheel. When i off traveling like that i Do Not Want Big Brother watching or knowing a #### thing of where i was or what i was doing. SO are there any ELDs that can be turned off? or i just unplug? my understanding is you are not "supposed" to do that. but that is my time and DOT has no right to know anything during that time.
