Qualcomm and E logs

1) I guess it depends on how user friendly you are with newer technoloy. For me, the EOBR is much easier.

2) LOL

 

You are right. I carry one BLANK paper log just in case the freaking box dies. And if DOT asks me if I have a paper log, I must say, "Officer, I carry one blank paper log just in case my elog doesn't work."


And I hide the other one that I use for my own guidance.... eventhough it doesn't have my name, no truck number, no signature, nothing, just the graph, and a few calculations

 

I do the same thing. It's a requirement to have blank paper logs on board. You can actually be placed OOS without them.

 

It will not turn truck off,if getting close to your 11/14 go off duty R off duty driving so no VIOLATION is noted, you can also un plug the #### thing just like the old qc,
There is ways to get around the system, if needed, just run legal and you have no problems,

 

When it came to the dot, I never had any errors found either but when it came to the company, I always had errors because since our paper logs had to be scanned in with the tripak and since most scanners ain't worth a crap for clarity, the log auditors were constantly misreading the logs and causing errors for me. With these elogs, I still get violations from time to time because its my own fault, ie, forgetting to log a pretrip/post trip, or fuel but as far as log auditor errors, that very rarely happens anymore.

I don't know why you are struggling so much with your elog, but ours is so easy even a caveman can do it.

 

Well, I used to volunteer at a computer lab and I started using this nannybox with no training and haven't made one mistake so far... Log dept said I am doing everything "PERFECT" So, I can't say I am a computer savvy but I'm not an ignorant either... LOL

One more thing, sometimes this nannybox freezes, or the touch screen doesn't work, and I have to remove my GPS from it's top, then do a hard shutdown and reboot the freaking thing... which is another pain in the neck.... That's good "old" technology for you.... With paper I never had this problem....

 

I do hate having to do a reboot of the EOBR. I dont have that kind of patience, so I grab my paper logs and start rolling. When I park, I just go back and edit my logs on the EOBR.

 

Yes, you can go Off duty driving in YOUR company not mine. I would have to contact dsp, send macro requesting line 5, wait for approval, can't have a trlr, not be under load, and must have enough time on my 11 hr.... so what good is that &*%#????


I would be more interested in the other ways around....

 

Wow....

We have a line 5 at my company, which you can use any time provided you aren't loaded with freight and you don't advance towards a shipper. I hate it when a company makes up their own FMCSR's.

 

That is simplicity.... Welcome to the new world of technology....
