Default fudging electronic logs

Just switched from flatbed to tanker. While the transition is going fine there is one issue that I,m having trouble adjusting to. The company I hired on with uses electronic logs.
My question is this. " How do you fudge these things?" Surely one of you electronic geniuses out there has run into this. I'd appreciate any info because I'm afraid that in a few years we're all going to have to deal with it.

Sorry I don't you can fudge them, I drive for a company that uses computer logs, they are wired into every aspect of the truck, GPS, fuel mileage, torgue output and anything else thats monitored by the tractors computors, you move an inch and it knows about it.

Why not just drive legal and not have to ever worry about it, whether now or in the future? Sure hope you're not hauling anything that can catch fire or explode.

Dear head rush. You sound like a Swift driver. Haven't you ever had to wait to get loaded for hours and have it screw op your whole day? Thats where some creative logging comes into play. And for your information, everything I haul is hazardous.

Dear ramrod. You are sounding like a biily big rigger. You ask a question and expect to receive only answers you like. Wrong message board. You will get honest answers from our members.
LEGAL is the answer to your problem.

A Swift driver, that's funny. No, ramrod, I'm too intelligent to work for them or get into a name calling match over the internet with you. Yes, I've been stuck waiting to get loaded and unloaded, but my company knew that. Oh well, it was going to take me a little longer, no need to endanger myself or anyone else around me. It's the nature of the job. Let me know when you're coming through Illinois when you feel that you "have" to do some creative logging. That way I can make sure that my family is safe at home. If and when you get busted, feel free to come around and whine how you need to make money, it's your company's fault, and you don't see what the big deal is.
