    OT = On Time ... you probably should be entering Y for Yes ...as opposed to N for NO.

    Also that's DM basic ... get another DM. Your's may be a nice guy, but it doesn't do you any good if he doesn't know what he's doing.

    Each and every day when you shut down for your 10hr reset do macro 10, 32 and 34 and check your logs and approve them as well. Simple.

    This is the Swift forum, and Swift has it set for 15.

    Glad I don't drive for Swift then. Governed trucks, 15 min interval on the Elog when you could have 5. You guys are getting screwed.

    It's not the e-logs that are set for 15 minute increments, it's the Mac 10.

    What Moose said. Our reporting Macro is a legacy from pre elogs and needs time input in 15 minute increments. The elogs themselves track the time to the minute with a 5 minute minimum before an activity is recorded.

    Since you're hating on Swift so much how about you go away so you won't have to suffer anymore over how bad we have it?

    Calm down Frank, he wasn't hating on us, he just didn't understand. Like they said above we too are set to a 5 minute minimum on status changes. Swift doesn't yet use auto time recording so when we manually report our hours on our Mac 10 we use 15 minute increments.
     
    A21CAV Thanks this.

    And what everyone is calling a Mac 10 means they are sending in Macro #10 in the Qualcomm system. It's only used by dispatch so the planners (in theory) know the drivers remaining time on the 70hr clock. In practice it's a waste of time we drivers have to send in so the system will actually dispatch us and something the planners ignore.

    Elog reporting is a different system.
