INCREMENTALLY, if the driver isn't careful, you are logged for extra time when the Qualcomm logs you at the quarter hour and you could more realistically, and to your benefit, adjust those 5 minutes in your favor. You have to understand that the Qualcomm system is designed to satisfy the DOT minimum requirements. Math has never been my strong point. And with PAPER LOGS, too many company Trainers and even Orientation Instructors tell rookies 'you can work the system' -- something like gambling at the slot machines, I guess. They tell you NO WAY can you make a living and do it legal. My head just spins from all this silliness. The paperless logs CAN be ran just like a paper log PERIOD! Anyone who says different, doesn't know how to use the system.. this isnt the systems fault! I used the Peoplenet system now and it has the qualcomm system beat hands down.
