software available to detect log book falsification ?

"Inputting data such as locations, distance travelled, speed of travel," "detects violations as per US/Canada"

most larger carriers have a scanner for log books--not sure how it works ---other than it does make mistakes
i am not sure if they manually read it after the scanner flags it or not

 

The most widely used scanner is made by JJ Keller. It scans the log sheets as turned in or emailed by the drivers and will flag violations. The only issue with it is that the driver has to write EXACTLY in the boxes and write VERY legibly or the program won't read it correctly.

In any cases where a sheet either has a miss-read error or flags a violation then the software allows you to manually input and manipulate the sheets in question. Here is an info link to the JJ Keller scanner: http://www.jjkellerservices.com/pdf/Software_KellerSCAN_Brochure.pdf
It costs $2000 to $6000 depending on the number of drivers that the company has.

However, with the popularity of electronic logs, this manual method and COST of scanning logsheets is becoming less popular than just electronically filing the logs.

 

that is more than likely the kind they used--i watched the girl do it a bit--felt kinda sorry for her--pretty boring job---and everything had to be filled out in black ink--no felt type pen
i have no idea how it ever read my logs--ltl hazmat--so there were more lines than you shake a stick at

 

Wish i knew more about it but the nice Iowa Highway patrol officer wasn't very forthcoming. Bout 6 months or so ago--I got a roadside level 3 in Iowa--(on the westbound ramp heading off@Iowa 80) he was sitting on shoulder of ramp when i came off-just stepped out of car and pulled me over. No biggie overall he was cool--and I passed no problem--but as we sat in his car--he had a handheld infra red scanner(like at a checkout) it was connected to his cars laptop--he took my log book and ran the scanner across each page--and the computer logged the whole thing--showed me printouts of how far i had traveled average speeds etc. Kinda cool set up--but when I asked him about it and who made it--he just grinned and said it is for law enforcement only! I let it go but don't buy it--it's out there so we could probably get one--wish I knew more to tell you--was kinda hopin as I posted this--someone else could give us some more info
Thanks
