You clowns will ruin any thread with your nonsense. Cameras is plural im assuming he has more than one tractor at his terminal.
 
What cameras??
A camera is installed on the windshield looking forward, there is also a camera on the tablet, we were told that camera is not active, that now a days you can't buy a tablet that doesn't have a camera installed at factory, they also told us we could cover that camera with a piece of tape or a sticky dot that they would provide. I don't think anyone is trying to scare anyone.

As far as the use of them once you get used to them you will like them they do save time and you don't have to fill out 7 days worth of logs when you go on vacation.

I think if you haven't had the class yet then your problem not on the net yet, we had put class and started using them that day, still have a few drivers that backup with their paper logs, but I threw mine away the day we started using them, just had to carry 7 days worth when we started, it's a pretty simple system, there are still a glitch or two every now and then, but is mostly driver error in trying to get the start up going. As I stated earlier I like the elog because it does save a little time. Haven't been check by DOT yet but have heard that most of the time when they see the tablets they don't even ask to see the logs (from drivers that have had them for years). The main problem comes from people who hate change, but even the most diehard here have changed their attitude about them, but then some people will always find a problem with something new regardless of high good it might or might not be.
 
Will we get just a book of generic logs or FedEx still going to waste money a print monthly logs

Make sure you have the instruction sheet telling how to down load the log information !!!!!!
Make sure you know how to use the dam thing !!!!!!!
Thats what the DOT seems to want when they see your on E Log.
This is what was told to us by Souther region FMCSA man a few weeks ago.

If you need paper logs for some reason they are supposed to print up some generic to put in permit books, then when you turn them in they can add to the elog, anytime your log is changed you will get a message over the elog telling you. If for some reason you start a paper log and get pulled over and don't have 7 days worth, (after you have been using them for at least 7 days) you call your terminal and they can email the logs needed to dot. We were told that if a ticket is written for logs that Fedex would help us and try to make things right

You don't have to down load log info, it is on the tablet, if you are asked for logs, give the tablet give it to the officer and they plug it in to their system, and are supposed to be able to get the information they need to see. With the GPS tracking and logs are downloaded it will show everywhere that you have had a change of duty, Just make sure that you always verify a duty change when you make it manually.

When you log on it goes from off to on duty you verify, (touch the check mark), when you start driving after a certain distance it automatically changes to driving, same with when you are stopped for a certain amount of time, goes from driving to on duty not driving. Sometimes it will change to driving when you are driving around looking for you trailers, but you can cancel that change, you have 30 seconds to cancel when it tries to change automatically.
I know this is a lot of info, and it will make more sense when you have had the class on how to use them.
At this time we only have to make a manual duty change when we go on lunch and come off lunch.
When you do get to start using them you will see that they really aren't that complicated.
