EOBR Settings ?

You would prefer to have it cranked down so tight that every time a forklift bumps the back of your trailer you get a HOS violation?

Part of all of that is the fact that digital systems can't be set for a black/white moving or not moving situation. It's possible the thing could be giving you violations every few minutes (if not seconds) if it were cranked down tight enough in a strong wind. Digital systems need to be told where it's acceptable to make that transition in it's digital world that works with the real world in human terms. If it bothers you to have little leeway in what you can do, don't use it. Just sit in the dock, tell the dock foreman you can't move because you're out of hours and you'll get a violation... then you can wait for them to call the county sheriff to force you to move.

As far as what those limits are, you'll either have to ask your carrier or explore the length of your leash on your own. It all depends on what your carrier has them set to.

 

That's what my carrier does as well. Goes from "not driving" to "driving" after 3 miles OR over 25-mph. It will make that change permanent 5 minutes after the transition. You can use that to your advantage.
