    Keller you can't edit much but you can edit the start time of your current status as long as it doesn't overwrite any drive time.

    For example: say I'm doing a split sleeper berth. I go in sleeper and at midnight Keller tends to switch me over to off duty. The next day when I put it back on sleeper I can edit the start time back to midnight so I don't lose the 8 hours in the sleeper I need for the split.

    Same thing can be done when you log in and it puts you on duty. Go off duty and edit start time to cover the on duty portion and the on duty will go away.

    It's much easier on the omnitracs. With Keller you just have to be more diligent.

    I wish.

    I spent 3 hours in line to get it washed. It was crazy.

    I'm getting "Error Retrieving Available Loads" message on the board... Anyone else having issues? Got the same message last night.

    I get the error too. Contractors web is supposed to be down later today but maybe something theyre working on is already affecting it. Thought it was weird too that my coordinator called me friday to see how much fuel money i wanted for the load im picking up today just in case there are system problems this weekend.

    Yea it's 1 year of trucking experience and 6months with flatbed work. I'm wondering if they would take me with 6 months each. I'd go buy a truck 6months faster.

    Your logs are still on your tablet or phone when you switch to inspection mode those Are what DOT are aloud to access

    I did the same thing Pete did last weekend so I just created a paper log for Friday with the correct hours and certified it and ran the jj Keller said I was out of hrs but still keep correct Logs and that’s what DOT looks at the Logs they don’t care what status JJ Keller thinks you are in

    When I talk to the log department about no one being there on weekends they told me that the new eld reg states drive have to edit there own logs and the JJ Keller system we are using has been grandfathered in and JJ Keller has a few months to change the programming for us to edit Logs
