Because your ELD is not programmed right. I had my truck worked on at Council Bluffs, IA last Friday, Saturday, and got it back Sunday at 7:00 pm. The repair shop had to disconnect the device to acces the portal to perform the required repairs. When I reconnected the ELD, it showed 1:50 of driving on Friday, the 12th, then switched to on duty not driving, with short on duty driving while they were moving the truck in and out of the shop, and stayed on duty Saturday, January 13th, until Sunday, January the 14th, when I reconnected it. This violated my 70 hr, 14 hour rule, showed violations for on duty over 8 hours without a 30 minute break, and deprived me of my34 hour restart. All this time it was on duty, I was in a motel room, legally off duty, which I have receipts for. Because of Garmin total lack of support, my only course of action was to reconstruct the logs on paper, certifying them in writing, and not certifying the ELD logs that were totally false. I will be returning this unit to the Best Buy that I purchased it from, and I expect a full refund. Also, I will contact the OOIDA to assist in decertification by the FMCSA of the Garmin ELD device, and use social media to warn other potential purchasers of its faults, keeping my IPad for proof of damages this device has caused. When I purchased the garmin/Dezel, there is pages of instructions to operate the GPS, showing everything you can set up on it, short of making it dance across the dash. The ELD owners manual stops short with check to see if it plugged in properly, that about it. It doesn’t tell the administrator how to fix mistakes, even though it say you can, and requires to certify legal logs. The Garmin ELD device is the one “they warned us about.”
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a question that you should ask of Garmin support. Presumably, its to avoid someone trying to cheat the system, perhaps even a requirement of DOT.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Garmin eLog is required to follow FMCSA electronic logging device (ELD) regulations where an ELD must automatically switch to "driving" status once the commercial motor vehicle's diagnostic port reports a speed greater than or equal to 5 miles per hour. The vehicle is considered "stopped" when its diagnostic port reports a speed of 0 miles per hour for three consecutive seconds. These speeds are mandated by FMCSA and are unable to be modified by Garmin.
