Full ELD 5 mph question

One thing to consider is that the GPS software that is used by some ELD's may make the determination that you are on a
public roadway at certian shippers and receivers and may trigger the drive clock regardless of the speed threshold.

 

Not if it's a compliment ELD. The only thing the gps can be used for is getting location, and the most accurate it can be is aprox. 1/2 mile.
A compliment ELD specifically cannot use gps for movement.

 

Well I guess an old mechanical truck will not have an ELD any time soon.

 

Another good reason to have a printer in the truck. If you can’t email your logs then print them for the officer on the spot.

 

Not sure what a compliment ELD is.
My company uses the Transflo mobile system and it has
Triggered the drive clock on me a couple of times in that scenario.

Edit: Upon further review, this system includes telematics.
I think that this may be the difference.

 

There you go. When they want copies they expect copies now .

 

I'm not sure what kind of commerce a driver could possibly be doing at 5 mph. Or 10 mph for that matter.

That's Big Gov for you

 

The obvious is going from guard shack / staging to the warehouse door.

 

Yeah that wears me out when I do that. I always need to sleep 10 hours after that grueling journey

 

That wasn't the statement. You had no idea what kind of commerce could be done.
I let you know. Sorry you feel the need to change the subject now you were given an example.

 

We are allowed to use PC for small moves.
Example-I was at our terminal doing a 34,and shop personnel asked me to move the truck to a open hole around back.
I switched to PC,entered PCDM under notes,and moved the truck.
