XPO | E-logs

The clock starts when you punch off duty- so unless you punch at exactly midnight, it won't be 00:00:00.

The problem is that you can't see the seconds, so if you go off-duty at 1:00:45, and then go back on at 1:30:30, it looks like you've taken 30 minutes to you but the computer sees that you've only taken 29 minutes and 45 seconds. Taking an extra minute prevents being short on seconds.
Wow sounds like we got the Walmart roll back priced elogs system. I been using elogs on and off since the late 90s and all of them showed the seconds
 
Once again, as having been said, it is best practice to let the break clock go until 31 minutes, 29 minutes and 59 seconds will not count. Remember that you are on a Electronic device where as it counts seconds also . It will count exactly down to the second from when you log off duty. Example is if yo log off at 1:05 pm and the actual time is 1:05 and 20 seconds your full break will not count unless you wait until 1:35 and 20 seconds. It is easier to wait until that extra minute goes by to make sure that the break is locked in. If not, plan on taking another 31 minute break and eventually you'll learn not to log back on duty at 30 minutes
Ours will ask us if we want to go on duly because u only have under 10 minutes left to complete ur break.

This is the cheapest and least effective system for doing this possible. XPO already said that vnomics will only last a couple more years. Which will line up with the scanners getting replaced and most likely everything will be done on the scanner at that point. Pay sheet, 8300 and log.

The further we get from Con-way the better things will work. Right now XPO knows every single driver in it's fleet sits and stares at this thing for 3-5 minutes while it boots. And then has to punch in trailers and manifest numbers. Another 3-5 minutes will this equipment. They can eliminate 6-10 minutes of wasted time from each dispatch from every single driver in the system with updated technology.

Results matter. The bottom line above all. He bought a mess. It was making money in spite of itself. He's going to make it make money for real. It's what this guy does.

So true this guy bought a very big mess. I just wish some of the one on here crying about what XPO is doing just take there blinders off. All you had to do is walk around and look at the computer system, and equipment. I believe Con-way was heading down the path that YRC is in now

The old way of doing things worked just fine back in the day. E-commerce and electronic everything has changed landscape of business. The nuts and bolts are the same. Get it here and take it there. But everything is tracked in route. Lanes are priced to the freight. Time is money. If the wheels ain't turning you ain't earning. As true now as it ever was.
 
FAC'S do have "Cut Times" and the E-Logs are great. Very Easy. Log in and drive, if you have to take lunch then log off. That is it. By the way you DO NOT have to hit Enable Yard Unless you are close on your 11hr drive time. That is all it is for.
Not sure what facs you run but there is no cut time to,leave the fac in the morning were we run Chicago land area

Sure is. System wide. Monday to Thursday, loads arriving after 3:00 am are fenced. Friday everything is worked. Service failures go back to the terminal that dispatched late.

Well hate to argue but I'm sure someone else can confirm xsw and xcw and xdm and xin and xtm does not fence loads after 3:00 they get broke and if your last your waiting

XCN is 4:30 but very few loads are there that late and fac is still going normally at 0600
 
I was told it's system wide. Always possible different areas are set up differently.
It sounds more hopeful than actual. In places where elogs have been rolled out has it improved drivers arrival times? ( since it's harder to massage an elog like a paper log )

There is no hard and fast rule where I run. Late arrivals are taken on a case by case basis. Back in the day, we were the fastest carrier. Now that many others have caught up, we have no advantage. To fence all breakers after 3:00am system wide would not be a good idea, in my opinion (and with 13 years in, I'm still often the last driver to leave the FAC).
