Quick question for those of you on qualcomm elogs

Not ALL Werner's have done it.... mine is as it has always been, allowing me a mile or so before it goes to the drive line, and if you stop and put it off duty again before 2 minutes elapse is will continue the offduty/sleeper.

 

Lol dang cheaters.

 

I guess every time I stop at a light,I can put myself off duty..since the wheels arent turning?

 

One good point...no more parking stupid at truck stops...block some one in..move 73 feet,and start your 10 all over.

 

Alrighty. Just caught wind through our safety department at Barr Nunn this new Qualcomm update is legit.

The way our safety department understands it is, any driving done below the 15mph threshold will be tacked on to your drive line as soon as you exceed 15mph or drive 2 miles. In other words, if you leave the truckstop and it takes you 15 minutes to leave but you are on duty, as soon as you hit 15mph you now will have 15 minutes of drive added to the drive line.

I guess some companies will decide ANY driving will be on the drive line period. This takes away the ability to drive slowly away from a dock or reposition to a safer spot at a truckstop without going into violation or having to restart the break.

For us, as long as we don't break 15mph and we have a change of duty from off duty to sleeper berth or on duty to off after the slow short drive, the repositioning move will not backdate to the drive line.

That's the story anyway. I'll update if it doesn't work the way they say. I know today I repositioned at the truckstop without having it back date.

 

Here's the letter from Omnitracs (Qualcomm) my company got.

 

You posted some good information up there but it doesn't back up what you are saying. The carriers can and are making changes that are more strict than the proposed ELD Mandate, but that doesn't change the fact that for carriers that choose the more lenient setting Qualcomm is still requiring those carriers to back date drive time to when the wheels first moved when one of two thresholds are met (distance or speed).

 

Not saying anything. Just posted a letter that went out to carriers for informational purposes.

 

I read the quote as yours. Lol

 

If the new programming is legit. Where's the fmcsa publication and ruling. Cuz I've heard nothing about this on landline now. Is there an article published on the internet somewhere saying this would be the new ruling?

All I've heard is the eld mandate.
