Transition to EOBR

While there is not someone watching every driver 24/7 carriers can have the EOBR to send notices of specified violations . Every time we exceed 65 mph the EOBR sends an alert . We get monthly notices saying what percentage of the time a driver was over 65 and what their highest speed was . Hard brake and then know when and where it was and how fast you were driving when you hit the brakes .Some inspectors will ask drivers for the required instructions for enforcement officers . If they don't have it or the driver doesn't know how to show his past 7 days he's OOS.The Ontario Canada inspection stations have instructions for e-logs in their computers . They took and hour and a half to do a Level 2 checking my e-logs .

 

Find another company before you wind up as lunchmeat in court. understand their true purpose and that's to thow you under the bus while letting tye corporation off the hook.
The people in the office can make you look like a saint come time for a DOT audit and trust me they can make you look like the devil himself after you havebeen involved in an accident.
If that information isnit run thru goverment servers first then to the corporation you are just running down the road with your little red panties down to your knees and the big ol judge will rape you before bubba does.
I am not joking one #### bit, I have seen the people at my company change my on duty time to get a load down the road on time.
Anyone who tells you its peaches and cream don't know jack squat about the potental abuse both by the corporations and the lawyer who will clean your clock in a court setting.
i am currently looking for a carrier who hasnot taken the mark of the beast but they are getting hard to find.

 

Every time your company changes your logs it makes a record of who changes it. So I guess the company would be just as liable as the driver in that situation. Only difference is the company has deeper pockets than the driver does, so while both will be listed in the lawsuit, the company will lose $$ and the driver will lose freedom.

 

Webmaster needs o change this site for android users we don't die we multiply! Back on subject. Many of you havebeen brainwashed into this box will save me in an accident mindset and nothing could be further from the truth.
The little things you take for granted will be brought up in court speeding down that hill 5 miles before the accident , that PT you failed to do going over your hours a few seconds idleing in a no idle law state, cutting your fueltime short to save minutes on your logs will all stare you right in the face come court day so don't forget your toothbrush and I don't care if the car was at fault this box and these rules are written by corporate laywers for the DOT to follow.

 

The fact of the matter is the company lawyers write these rules the FMCSA and the DOT dance to their tune. Its the laywers in the wild that give these trucking CEO's a headache.Now the paper log if done correctly protected you and your property the elog is made so you tske the hit and lose your stuff so if you do take the mark please put your stuff in your kin folks name and or incorporate yourself.

 

What is your story Afro?

 

afro speaks things you all don't dare to consider.

 

For a mega it's just a cost of doing business ........ Maybe who ever did the edits to the logs should lose their freedom. Even if they work in an office!


Afro makes some valid points..............

 

He does make "some" valid point, but on the other side he's too ... passionate about things. That freaks me out.

The Mega that I worked at at an OR of 97% so court payouts for fatalities and false logs were not in any way acceptable.

 

Afro needs a new job, a healthy dose of Prozac, and a looser tin foil hat.
