I AM SO SICK OF ELD'S! It's not making the industry any safer.

ELogs aren't the problem, the 14 and 70 are the problem.

 

Piecemeal pay is the problem. Makes truck drivers work cheap.

 

That's not the same as turning it off to move from one end of a parking lot to another.

 

It’s legal still in sleeper but seems like kind of pain to save a little bit of time but if helps it works. I don’t like when drivers do the ELD roll in truck stop when it busy or you can’t get around them

 

Gotta find the best way to work for free so we can work for money longer.

 

So it will still record the movement, and it will create an unassigned driver event. The driver will have to accept or decline it, and then the log department will also see that event and want to know why its there. DOT when the download the logs also see those events and the notation for the event. If drivers want to beat ELogs just go to work for any of the White Volvo Mafia companies out of Chicago.

 

My only complaint is recently with tech startups like samsara. They always have to change everything fairly often so that it looks like they're progressing because you can't see the background code. I absolutely hate this because things change for no reason. There's nothing wrong with a product that works not changing until it doesn't work anymore.

 

Moving a truck less than 1 mile should not even register considering ELDs do not provide exact coordinates. Even if it manages to flop the odometer by a single mile should not be an issue for a carrier to explain. Off duty driving is perfectly legal. If you think zero flexibility is a good thing then you are a major thorn in the side of any decent driver.

 

Pretty much lol

 

The black box on the truck absolutely picks up movement under 1 mile, and will record the event and an unassigned driving event that requires the driver to accept or decline them. If you are audited by DOT in that logging period they will see a driving event were presumably you are the only driver on the truck and the truck was moved without someone logged, the location is clearly going to be the same location you showed on duty to check in and check out of in this example. So they are going to cite you for false logs. Any safety department worth anything would question why a driver is signing out and moving the truck.

I'm very much pro ELog because they aren't the problem, the 14 and 70 are imo, and I'm not a thorn in the side of decent drivers, bad drivers are that because bad drivers are why the industry is where it is when it comes to regulations. Drivers have been their own worst enemy for a long time.
