Keep trucking shows a location while driving

Go talk to the fellas at Mitchellville in Iowa I'm sure they can straighten you out

 

Does the location noted in the aobrd or eld even matter anymore? Considering all it's really tracking is your driving time and when you're driving.

 

They don't necessarily need to be CVSA Certified to check logs. But, if they're not... They would've had to have another reason (i.e. traffic infraction and/or criminal suspicion) to make the actual stop. It is a general rule-of-thumb though, that Non-CVSA Credentialed LEOs don't have login access to the Portal(s) that house logs, after the Data Transfers from the ELD. Many still believe that an officer would be able to "enter their own e-mail address and send the logs to themselves" like they used to (with AOBRDs). This is not the case anymore. The logs are transmitted (in an encrypted form) to either the FMCSA Queue or an E-Mail Queue. They then, have to log-in to the Portal, which converts the Encrypted File into something legible, for them to retrieve and review.

 

So if it says that I am 20.5 miles SW of a town A but I do know that I am in a small population town B then do I have to edit it and change it to B, or not?
If so...then it stinks.

 

Quick question. Does the unit trip to drive @ 5 mph, or is it more?
I ask as I'm thinking you might be running in aobr mode. If that's the case your accuracy wound only need to be as accurate as paper logs require.
I.e. nearest city, town or village.

 

A while ago they allowed an option to jack it up to 15 mph before it trips to driving. It will be locked down again Dec 2019 to 5.

When I am home mine shows me as ~70 km from a big city. There is a closer, bigger city, I don't know why it doesn't recognize it. I rarely change location notes, if 74.3 km sw of Town isn't accurate enough then I will see them in court. My town's population is less than 5,000.

 

You do not have to change the location. These are the location parameters set by the mandate.

 

It is set for 15 mph before it starts drawing line 3. Yes it is in AOBRD mode.

 

Noticing a lot of idiots creeping in or around truckstops, shippers & receivers at 3 to 5 mph. Are they really that hard up to get an extra 100 yards without tripping their elog? This practice is often a hazard.
