Having never used or even seen an electronic log, do they record your speed ?
I’ve got a mate at H&R that was one of 5 that originally tested the electronic log for them and his was on the qualcom, are they all on qualcom or are there stand alone electronic log machines as well ?
What happens when you get to a scale and they call you inside and want to see it ?
We have Shaw in our trucks so I’m guessing there’s a few different systems available. The units are wired into the truck main ecu allowing it to monitor speeds, engine running time etc and I’m guessing ours have some type of shock sensor too as if you have to brake sharply or if you strike an animal etc you can send a five minute report back to wherever your data is stored in case it’s needed for legal/insurance purposes. If we get stopped at a scale all we need is an email address from the DOT guys and we can send them our last 14 days of logs
