    does ANY driver run 100% legal everytime whether elogging or not? you clarified/disclaimered your own rebuttal by stating that "you could consistently do 3k a week " yet you choose,INSTEAD,to be home every weekend."could", to me,means that you do not but "could" if the desire were there. i interpret that to mean that you do not consistently run 3k/week,elogs or not.

    does that mean that i run 100% legal? well i can declare that all audits are 100% compliant and our csa score is high enough that i do not get pulled around back and i (we) do not have prepass/epass.ours is a new enough company that we have had the mandatory sit down with the federal dot reviewing all paperwork,and walked out without any infraction.they do audit too.start ups get scrutinized heavily.i can only surmize that you pull for a large outfit and will leave it at that.That was not deragatory.

    I have never read your posted mileage.sorry.

    no need to dissect my posts for the sake of argument when there is not one.we apparently are of the same opinion yet you drive under the constraints,and there are,of an elog and i do not.we both get all the miles that we desire to get in a legal fashion.

    * it was the feds and not Ga.i just ascertained and had to insert the correct gov't entity.

    So what's the problem then? If one chooses to run legal then they won't care about having elogs. You can beat around the bush all you want about if your papers look good. Fact is simple. Ppl that want to run illegal or need to run illegal are anti elog.
     
    Spamalot and KE5WDP Thank this.

    With the new HOS regs comming out in 2013 you will be required to take a 30 minute break after 8 hours of driving.

    I run paper logs and run legal.Log it as I do it.I make decent miles and the company really watches us on the qual-com.I just don't like e-logs because I had bad experiences with it while working for Werner.It would change duty status on it's own without any input from the driver.Had 1 occasion it changed me from line 1 to line 4 and another time it showed I had drove after I went to line 1 and the truck was shut down. My paper logs do not change my duty status w/out me knowing it.

    Actually, it states that you will not be able to drive more then 8 hours, without taking a 30 minute mandatory break. That break can be anywhere after the 3rd hour and before the 8th hour, to comply.

    sigh


    That is nothing that a phone call to the logs dept cant fix. Also, you can edit your logs before you approve them. The only line you cannot edit is line 3.
