    I've thought of a few ways, but I'm not going to test it out. If your company sets up a geofence around a location you can drive in a circle all day if you want.

    Ok now my last random thought, elogs don't stop you from violating the HOS they just make it harder to hide.

    Awww come on, test out your theories! Where would we be if the computer hackers from MIT during the 80's said "I've though of a few ways, but I'm not going to test it out"?

    The internet wouldn't even exist!

    Obviously you have never been in a situation where you had hours available to drive but were to tired (sick, etc) that to continue driving would have been unsafe.

    Just because some fancy computer program says you are legal to drive does not mean you are safe!!!

    Likewise the reverse is also true, just because some automated computer says your time is up, does that mean you are too tired to safely drive???

    If we all used a little more common sense, went to bed when we were tired, and we were paid for ALL OF OUR ON DUTY TIME, NOT JUST THE TIME WE ARE DRIVING, may e we wouldn't feel the need to break the rules and there would be less of a need for overzealous legislation and enforcement of the rules.

    Just say'n!

    if only common sense were common. For such a regulated industry there are no standards. Its that 10 maybe 20 percent that ruin it for everyone else.

    Oh and id like to test my ideas, but turns out I wouldn't know where to start. And the part where I don't want to get fired, plus it would look bad for a guy in safety to be looking for ways to cheat the elogs.
     
    U4EA Thanks this.

    I don't think it would look bad for a guy in safety to be looking for a way to cheat the e-logs, I would assume you were thinking outside the box.
     
    U4EA Thanks this.

    I was just driving home and thinking about how the data is gathered and stored. Got me thinking of other stuff related to that, seems like its doable.

    I'm a part timer, not even going to really apply myself until my kids are older. For now I'll let my sugar momma take care of us.
     
    U4EA and The Breeze Thank this.
