Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

Basically with these CBT's as I've been told by Green Bay so if anything ever happens they can say you were trained properly and I think it's kinda ridiculous but that's the world we live in now with so many people that are sue happy

 

So everything I keep seeing about the new elog changes says that once we hit the driving thresholds, our logs will retroactively place us on driving. But for some reason I can't find anything that states exactly what our driving thresholds are. Any help?

 

By the example SNI sent out that's been decreased because it uses a 3 minute example.

 

Those are two separate things. Right now, what triggers driving status on the log? Is it time, distance, speed, what? Because going forward, once you hit that threshold, the log will automatically go back and put you on driving status from the moment you start moving. So, as long as you don't break the driving threshold, you should still be able to move without being put into driving status.

 

My guess will be when you release parking break supply just like when you pull it it goes to on duty.

 

In theory the threshold is 35 mph or 3/4 or a mile constant movement. In practice it varies - truck to truck and situationaly.

If you sit still long enough while on the drive line it will eventually put you on duty. No.idea of what time frame it needs to do it.

If it goes back retroactively - how far does it go? Say I slide my tandems, then go off duty and make a sandwich for 6 minutes before heading on the road. Will it pull all the way back to the movement? November 17 will be an interesting day.

 

The 680 steering wheel controls are nice.

 

Everything I've seen and heard about this implies that once you start moving (whether that's measured from releasing the brakes or the wheels actually turning), your duty status stays at whatever it's currently set, until you reach the "driving threshold". Once you reach the "driving threshold", then your clock would switch to driving going back to the moment you started moving. I would assume, though, that if you stop moving/change duty status before you hit the "driving threshold", then nothing would happen until the next time you started moving, after which that would be your new base point.
