ELD inspection

I had an inspection in Kentucky last week. They did the level 3 inspection. They didn't ask for my logs either.

 

It happened to me before the elog mandate. They would ask about my logs and I would tell them I have elogs, they would say ok and move on. Two years otr and never had my logbook inspected once.

 

In my 9 months OTR, I was asked to email/fax my elogs to an officer once. (I80, just east of Echo, UT.)

The (very friendly and pleasant, yet still totally professional) officer didn't spend much time looking at them, just a quick glance through his print out. I think he was looking for red ink.

 

When you or your company have been on elogs for years they never look at you. Elogs are for professionals and business people. Paper logs are for people who have no idea what they are doing , poor broke destitute , non business people or cave men.

 

Speak for yourself...lmao

Im on paper, and snagging $4/mile runs.

Just completed a quickie 400 mile run (flagged as a 2-day run by XPO). Offloaded 13 hrs early....and I'm all legal

 

Elogs are for people who are too lazy to think for themselves. If I was making 6 bucks a mile I'd be putting a lot more miles on than I am right now.

 

That is a great idea , i will take your advise to speak for myself , please and thank you.

 

Keep hope alive my brother. Hope is the idea that your present isnt as bad as your future. And your future can be bright if you keep working on learning instead of working on earning.

 

I believe both serve a purpose. No one is lazy for using elogs and no one is an unprofessional caveman for using paperlogs. My company is a driveaway/towaway operation with 3 fleet vehicles. The 3 fleet vehicles use ELD's per the mandate and our driveaway commodities are all done on paperlogs. ELD's are great for OTR. Paper is great when you are driving a commodity.
