Picked up rental this afternoon got a nissan somethin or other. 36 mpg :) wish i could get a truck that could pull that off lol. Quick question.... Do i have to log driving to GB?? I thought i read in the FMC hand book u dont have to log driving to and from work?? Im thinking of leaving at 7:30 am and gettin there around 8 30 or 9ish just gotta call the ramada and see if the shuttle can pick me up that late and to reserve my room... I dread that 820 miles tomorrow... But if a 747 can do it so can i!!! :biggrin_25511:

    Thanks tennman. Hey how hard is it with the E logs?? Does the system log u driving when you r wondering around a customer? I always wondered that lol.... Do the logs get in the way alot? Like running u out of hours more easily?? Im not to worried about running legal but you know the e logs are something i have never dealt w/ so helps to be slightly concerned

    The elogs automatically switch you to the drive line after a mile, however driving around a customer if the logs trip just put yourself back off the drive line i always go to line 1. as long as it's less than 5 minutes it can be switched and all the time reverts to the line you switch too. also happens if you aren't stopped for 5 minutes. say you go to line 1 and are stopped 3 minutes then start driving if you reach a mile before you been on line 1 5 minutes say at 4.5 minutes all that time goes over to line 3 at the mile mark. so any time you are in traffic say and switch to line 1 you need 5 minutes before it doesn't hurt your drive time. and always go to line 1 whenyou can line 4 takes away from your 70. I haven't had a problem but i work it to my advantage any chance i can.

    Ok just so i understand... If im lets says stuck in a wreck... I can switch it up to line 1 and as long as i dont go a mile in 5 min it will stay on line 1?? Does it switch by itself? Like if i pull into a receiver and dont have to to switch it to line 4 does it switch iteself? what if i forget to switch it to line 1 when off duty?? Any way to get that time back? Im forgetful.... Lol. And thank you so much lol I feel like i should be paying you lol. Maybe i should tell the big pumpkins to start!!! :biggrin_25520:

    It will switch to line 4 after you set the brakes. it will stay on line 1 until you go a mile regardless of the amount of time.
