NEW ELD standard Triggering my E-Logs in yard movement

Hmmm. Our Qualcomm allows up to 25mph. I bet its a setting they can change. I haven't heard of any changes coming in December for us. But maybe.

 

You could just log off or unplug it. My elog doesn't trigger right away. Enough to move the rig if i'm in the way of someone.

 

Thread# 1111114799999 on my elog won't let me violate the HOS

 

#### it is nice to sleep at the shipper and not log on until you are loaded. Maximize your 14 hour clock. That would be hell if you couldn't move your truck across the property during off duty. We all do it and its not even frowned upon.

 

Until the Mandate goes into effect the movement speed is regulated by your company. WHEN the mandate goes into effect the Mandate says UP TO 5mph you can move without triggering a line change. When you hit 5mph you will trigger a line change. Even if the Mandate is in effect your company can set lower than 5mph.

Until the Mandate it is up to your company.

 

Try this and see what happens ...
Let's say you're Off Duty, then move across the yard and stop - does it say Off Duty, or Drive?

Regardless, if it says Drive, change it back to Off Duty, than check the graph and see if maybe it didn't revert the accrued drive time back to Off Duty. If not, the system can maybe be provisioned to allow for more flexibility.

Every system is different and have different ways of provisioning, and allowing "manual changes inside of a time/distance window" to revert back to original status or at least to keep from changing to On Duty or Drive, if you make the change soon enough.

 

This is the new standard coming in December. This is why I say if drivers want to stay 100% compliant, their paychecks will drop by about $150 bucks a week. It's that one or two loads a week that you used to do where you unloaded during your '10' off duty or sleeper which we will no longer be able to do without having to start our 10 hour break all over again.

So a driver has 7 hours toward a 10 hour break, has to take another 10 hour break to clear the violation, in effect has had a 17 hour break and maybe lost out on that morning's reload and will have to wait til the next morning which could put the total downtime in the 30 hour range between certain loads whereas in the past, drivers were banging out new loads after a simple 10 hour break or so.

 

This will not stand. I don't think it's actually going to be mandated that way, but if it is it will be undone within 30 days because of all the outrage and shelves emptying out. There's not adequate parking for current trucks and HOS rules, now if 10% have to break an additional 20-30 hours week because their shop moved the truck or they had to move to door? Again it will not stand. The reefer segment especially can't stand for this just to get the food moved with current HOS rules, they certainly can't have their productivity cut 10-20% overnight and be expected to move the same amount of freight.

Trust me, there are bridges too far, and this would/will be one that will not be tolerated by the industry.
