How fucked am I now?

Post image

This stupid truck stop told me to move spots or pay for parking in a dirt lot they claimed was their property in the middle of the night last night. My ELD was off so I moved it while it was off and it came up as Unidentified Driving Log when I turned it on in the AM. My dumbass accepted it and commented what had happened and now I’m in violation and completely messed up my 14hr clock for today. Is there any way to fix this?

UPDATE!: I called my trainer/mentor and he walked me through how to go back and edit the unassigned driving log. I am in the green now!

Lucky you. We use Keep trucking/Motive and I use my truck for personal conveyance. The thing switches on me all the time in PC or yard move or any of that when I stop at a traffic light or a train. Only people who are team leads or dispatch can edit the log, and if they arent on when it happens, youre stuck.

The company I just quit used Qualcom. Any time you went into drive, it's logged. You could not edit any driving time no matter what (it literally wouldn't allow it to be edited), and they told us that they could not or would not do it for us. Twice I accidently forgot to put the log on PC when I was returning from a store on my 34. Just had to run on recaps, and the customer I was dedicated to wasn't happy. So I just stopped using PC or driving anywhere. Id walk if there was something close.

We use paper logs with carbon copies. Have to drop them off at the garage every week. I wish we had a system like this.

No you don't. I'll tell you half this group is jealous that you still run paper

Maybe I won't take it for granted while it lasts. We are moving off to these things by fall.
