Red's ELD journey

I ran the 8 first this trip, it's not fixed, but as soon as I did the short one, it was correct. Shows no violation, I actually had 10 hours and 59 minutes of drive time recorded.

Then I get to Jersey, and the Goethals was closed eastbound, used most of the cushion to arrive after I lost my turn in Brooklyn getting to Outerbridge and back up to the SIE. I'm sitting here on a dreary day, waiting to load in the morning in Linden.

 

They don't see what you see in inspection mode.

They do ask the darndest questions, though, like why did I stop in Gary, IN to let the rush die down before going to Bolingbrook?

Most of my interactions with LEO are thankfully in the midwest.

 

They should fix that, but they don't want to talk to mere drivers.

I haven't found another way to check, so I go to inspection to read what has been recorded for miles. Probably is another way to do it, but I was curious as to just what could be seen by someone after being locked out of everything else.

Auto fill just substituted infection for inspection, seems fitting, somehow.

 

I threatened to quit one time when told not to take splits unless I could do 8 first, they didn't want to pay me to sit extra, so they gave in pretty easily, turns out the federal auditor told them that. The fed had it wrong, too.

Never talked to that guy but many had the same idea.

I just kept my mouth shut and did it like I was supposed to. Much easier than fighting over nothing.

As far as getting eroad to see the light, I don't believe the responsible party has acknowledged that he/she/it has made an error. It's a simple fix.

I'm sitting at Snowshoe, PA I80 westbound rest area, with a purported 6 mile backup. Stop and go.

CB lawyers are giving me an education.

Heck with the knee boots, I need a wet suit.

 

After driving a regular route this trip, other than they changed the delivery time, and hitting stop and go 3 times in PA on 80, I can't figure what a regular route is, and their ELD doesn't follow the rules, maybe it was right for New Zealand, but not for here. I'd report them except it would be another headache I don't need.
If someone gets mad enough about it, they will be reported, I know of a certain perio menopausal lady driver who would love to give them grief.

 

It worked out I needed a couple of 8s back to back, and it really screwed up on that this time.

I ran it from what I knew off paper, and took the short one, and then it was ok, again.

I literally got no time back and had the drive timer in violation, too. Then it was ok.

The ECM readout is variable, but usually 101 miles short of the odometer reading.

Might be that I'm running during the midnite hour as a rule.
It got the trip to Fridley, MN right on the money for miles, occasionally, it does that.

I was there before midnite.
