    Robot trucks are coming-In the 70's people thought NASA would have a moon base and have landed humans on Mars by now. Don't hold your breath.

    That's actually pretty cool. I'd love to test out some of that stuff.

    You are cheating on that e-log don't even try to pull my leg nor anyone else's. I had the same crap running for Dart and e-logs eat time up I have seen it in action.

    As a matter of fact my wrist and fingers got a workout using e-log. You will get caught one day and you will be right back on this site crying about how they got ya.

    And if you don't think a lawyer can replicate what you are doing in real time you got another thing coming!

    Really? Totally legal. It's called Learning How To Work, Kid 101. I'll teach you sometime. I log it as I do it.

    Bud I used to try that cheating biz and yes its quite easy to do but it's even easier to catch you cheating. I know how you are doing it bud and like I said it's only a matter of time and you will get caught. Faking like you have done something and you didn't do it can be replicated.
    Sitting there watching your wrist watch and putting that done as truth will catch up to you faster than you think player!
    Been there done that. Trust me once it goes nationwide you will get caught and your company knows what you are doing and will play stupid right along with ya till you wind up in court and that's when you find out what the underside of a bus looks like real quick!!!
    Let me show others how you are working it.... Ya get to the customer check in at the gate log about 5-10 minutes all the while using that time as arrived at shipper and signing bills of lading instead of actually doing it.
    Pretty trip inspection you are probably sitting there staring at ya watch and or flying around the outside of the truck and yes DOT likes to spy on guys like you in the rest areas across the country besides that who will know what the new camera rules will include on the watch list once they are forced into these trucks.
    Fuel can be faked too fueling less than 15 minutes by shoving the hoses in the tanks and jumping back in the truck as its being done and logging only seven minutes but one day your gonna break ya neck because of oil on the island.
    Traffic yep you can slow the clock in back ups and yep they know that trick too.
    Every trick I know about up to and including how to prevent the signal from getting up toe the satellite and so bud you only buying time and fooling yourself.
    Like I said all that you are supposed to be doing can be replicated in a real time fashion in the event of an accident...
    I for one don't want to watch my back in prison for any amount of time it's just not worth it.

    Explain how I'm cheating. I wake up, get coffee, pretrip my truck for 12-15 minutes and drive. I leave it on duty to check in and then back in. Then I'm not on duty if I'm in the bunk. Then back on duty to leave and drive. Remember something, these things take only a few minutes. Not hours. Unless I have to be on that dock, I'm completely legal during loading by being in the sleeper berth.

    Dude like I said I shaved that book like you are doing right now and I could go into great detail the few I have listed are just a few items I didn't even mention going back over the book and correcting it or should I say cleaning it up.
    The average you are only supposed to increase in terms of productivity is about 15 minutes a day I think was the latest stats I forgot exactly how much but it's minor and not as much as you should be able to do legally.
    Oh yes I liked less writing but continuing to keep picking up that silly little box is just not worth the hassle in my book and shaving like I said can be replicated and any good lawyer can in fact do just that.
