New Swift Driver Qualcomm Woes

Can you be more specific about the hours violation?

If he drove past his 11, or his 14hr clock dried up @ a shipper then do a 10hr break and roll out once break is up, the qc will reset. Then call dm/safety to help resolve the problem in am.

 

Mixing apples and oranges ... the macros and the HOS are two different functions on the QC. One has nothing to do with the other.

If he is in violation of his HOS, this doesn't bode well for his future. He just spent 6 weeks training. He had to log every activity of every day on the QC for that time. He's in trouble if he suddenly can't manage it on his own.

 

If all fails and yer legal, roll out and go on paper logs. Then get with dm/safety and have them fix the problem on their end. They know how long you've sat, drove, etc and can verify yer problem if there is any questionable doubt.

I've messed up once, and done this and safety in phx fixed me right.. safety is the only one, from my understanding, that can edit line 3(drive line). Now I don't approve my logs on qc for a few days, just incase.

 

In his blue drivers handbook there is a section on macros, what to send and when and what order to send them.

 

And you can remember a few days past, hour to hour and minute to minute, to adjust these logs correctly?
Or, do you keep a second set - 'just in case'?

Personally, I try to keep my logs accurate as I do things.
Accurate enough that I can hit the 'Approve' button at any time.

 

It's not really a 'darn Qualcom'.
It's a computer.
As such, it records events as they happen, and as they are entered.

If it shows a violation, then he probably needs another QC class to show him how to do it right.
Or, he needs to be more vigilant in how he uses it.

Either way, a first violation for a newbie shouldn't be a game breaker.
It should only be indicative of needing more training.
