I give up, ELD choked on the 3/7 split and now I don’t know what to do.

Other than throw the ELD out the window and drive without logs.

This is the second time I’ve been burned by the software and gotten a violation that (as far as the rules were explained to me.) I shouldn’t have. Also, the ELD is misleading because the clocks reset to make it appear I’m legal only to throw a violation after I go off duty.

(for the record, this is a Rand)

So fresh hours at 6:20 am, I spent the night at the receiver and they unload me while I eat breakfast. Log on at 7:15, hit the road at 7:30. 3 hrs and 45 minutes to the next shipper (with a quick coffee and bathroom break enroute) and pull in and go off duty (retroactively changed to SB in an attempt to “fix” the violation, but that didn’t work) customer loaded me from 11:20 to 4:45pm. All I gotta do is sign the bills and shut the doors, :15 minutes.

Now here’s where it all goes wrong. My ELD clock says I can split my log and resets all the counters while I know I should be off at 9:15. But the logbook says I’m good if I take a 7 hour SB “later” so I drive until 11:30 pm. Find a spot in a rest area, go off duty, VIOLATION.

You MUST go into the sleeper as soon as you park for the 7 hour break, going off duty first breaks the 3/7 cycle and you cannot edit the log to get it back. Same for the 2/8 split.
