ELD question about "trip triggers"

It's because u didn't manually change status to line 4. Once it ended u suppose to go to on duty , pretrip. But since u droved, it save that instead.

Doesn't matter if u let the tires roll 1mph, once the tires move, it records it and after 5 minutes, it saves it unless you manually change it.

Also why couldn't u just wait? It was only 2 hours...

 

On my rig you have to pull the brake AND turn off the engine otherwise the e-log will go back to when the tires started rolling.

Or remember to do a manual switchover as suggested above.

 

Tell me more. Dear Jedi..... Ive much to learn LOL.

Shoot, don'tcha hate it when a plan is foiled? Hire Pinky and the Brain to work them things...

What about a coincidential fuse failure at the harness responsible for wheel rotation sensors?

 

When you moved the truck the clock did not start, but! The Gps recorded the last fixed position. When you started rolling....the computer checked last known Gps and saw that you cant be two places at the same time. Every little detail has already been calculated to catch you.....best know, a split sleeper break provision must keep the vehicle stationary.

In this case it seemed you should kept going until the clock ran out and forced you to do a full ten to reset the 11/14

 

I don't think the GPS caught him. I have been on two elog systems and I can still move the truck a mile without getting put on line 3. My best guess is it was because he didn't manually switch duty status. I just screwed up my 30 minute break as a test the other day. I waited 32 minutes and took off. I usually manually switch from off duty to on duty at the end of my break, but that day I just started driving. My 32 minute break became 29 minutes on the computer, therefore wasn't a legal break. I always manually change duty status, that way I don't rely on the computer to keep it straight.

 

I did the same thing the other day, 27 minutes started moving out. Got up to speed on the freeway look down the ELD is showing 2:20 left to drive, perfect, only need to get 98 miles down the road. Few moments later look down is it is showing 1:02 or something. Pull over real quick and it is showing 4 minutes of drive time 27 minutes off duty. Quickly change it back to off duty and it shows 31 minutes off duty now so manually change it to Drive and quickly go to the other screen to Approve the 31 minutes so they (whoever they is) cannot take it away from me.

 

I always wait for an additional minute before i release the brakes. We were told that once the brakes are released on the truck that is when your log will start recording.

 

They are all different in how they behave. Depends on the ELD system, how it is provisioned, and I also think depends on the year/make of truck as far as what the two will communicate with each other.

 

Qualcomm changed the program a year or two back so that there is no longer the 2 mile distance one can roll before it kicks onto line 3.

Essentially as stated previously, you either have to shut the engine off, or switch it manually.
