mercer transportation

This makes sense I did two cargo checks where I got out and checked the chains and got back in the truck. The computer didn't show them afterwords.

 

Just a quick question if a guy running paper log stops 5 minutes for coffee then shows on his logs he took his 30 minute break is that not a trick to beat the system

 

Nah, it's just flat out cheating/lying. I guess what I meant was the level of effort required for the trucks to cheat the system. I'd like to think I won't be doing those games, but the reality is once I'm on them, I may change my stance and be giving razor a call to teach this old dog some new tricks.

 

I have an inspection due the end of Feb. It will be interesting if they will force the ELD then, or let me go till the end of june.

 

Happy New Years every one and hope you all had a Great Christmas

December was rough with the loss of my stepson I am getting ready to get back work and look forward to catching up with some of you on the road may you all have a blessed year

 

I agree with Mr huds, a blessed year to all.

 

Good, because there are some things I'm not comfortable putting online lol. A few months ago my coordinator asked me how I manage to never have any issues, he gets calls all the time with drivers messing up the elogs and having to make arrangements on loads. I told him the same thing I told you guys. He said he was gonna start forwarding all log calls to me.

 

No they wont. You have the choice, them pay for it now or you pay for it june,

 

Man alive, wait till ya get mercerized go back , read this post and laugh, my avi this past year was 2062 miles a week and 41 weeks , tools 11 full weeks off, and that's full weeks doesn't include other days at home

 

Why is everyone worried about elogs? WE do not work hard enough to ever worry about that crap. And IF you are working that hard you are doing this all wrong.

I could see how a JB Hunt guy could dislike elogs because he can't do 700 miles in a day. But I only need a few hundred miles on a busy day. Heck, I pick my freight and when doing so I make sure I have plenty of time. Guys worried about 14 hours are doing this all wrong. With that said I do know all the tricks to our elogs. I use them to my advantage but they are nothing like running two logs or any of the stuff people do.
