you do not have any hours in the sleeper, driving hours, etc., you do not need

blank.

up-to-date quick reading.
This
data entry page is the only place where you can enter data.
It
is very important when entering data, to make sure it is entered on the correct
date and in correct amounts. The
reports are automatically generated from entered data.
Any
entry can be changed at anytime by clicking on the cell and re-entering the new
data. The reports will automatically be
changed to reflect new values entered.
Click
on the cell that says Enter Your Log Hours & Miles. You are now ready to enter data.
The
cells remain white until data is entered.
When entered, the cells in G, H, and I should turn blue. As long as a “red”
cell is not displayed, these are the entries to be entered in your Paper Log
Summary.
Drivers
have to maintain a driving record 24 hours a day/365 days a year. If you do not drive, you still have to
account for the time off showing in your log.
The Trucker Tracker log contains 365 days in which to
enter data. When off duty (not driving
or working), leave the cells on these days blank. Off Duty Hours are automatically set at 24 hours, so you do not
have to enter these hours for every day off.
White
cells usually indicate mandatory entries, however, if you do not have any On
Duty Hours or Driving Hours, no data entry is necessary. Gray cells indicate entry is optional. Leaving the gray cell blank has no effect on
reports. This is additional information
for your records. If you wish to keep
the records, enter data.
IMPORTANT!
Always make sure that your electronic log and paper log entries match exactly!
Log Violation Warnings
Whenever
a cell turns red, this is an indication that there is a possible DOT log violation. A warning is not an absolute. The warning gives you a heads-up to check it
out.
Enter a trip number for report purposes. If you do not have one, make on up.
Enter hub start miles.
There may be a time when you will
be waiting for load and have no miles to log.
If this happens, you must enter the previous End Miles in both the Start
and End Miles in columns B & C.
TT counts these cell entries to keep track of how many days you are out
for the report. It is important to the
driver to know how many days a year you are out for per diem on taxes.
Enter end of day hub miles.
Automatically calculated based on hub start and end
miles. No data entry needed.
No data entry can be made in this column. It is
automatically calculated based on miles traveled and hours driven. This cell will turn green if average speed
is up to 55 MPH; yellow if average speed is between 55 and 65 MPH; and orange
if average speed is greater than 65 MPH.
If the cell turns orange, check your Hours Driven and Hub Start and End
Miles.
Cell Turns Blue
Before data is entered, the cell is white. After data is entered, the cell will turn
blue or red. If it turns blue, it is
correct.
Cell Turns
Red
If it turns red, it indicates that too many hours
are entered into G, H, or I column. Make
corrections as necessary if this happens.
The values you entered added up to more than 24 hours.
A white “0” indicates that you should leave the “Off
Duty Hours” in your paper log blank.
The three other columns add up to 24, so there are no “Off Duty Hours”
to enter.
Enter hours in sleeper.
When entering driving the
hours, the following warnings may be displayed.
Cell Turns Red
Condition 1:
Too many Driving Hours were
entered.
The maximum driving hours allowed per day are
15. Any value greater than15 will turn
the cell red.
At time of entry, a warning message will also be
displayed if this value is greater than 15.
Condition 2:
Column “J” shows the maximum hours available
today. If more hours are entered than
are available in column “J”, a warning pops up telling you that too many hours
have been entered. If you click on Yes
to continue, the cell turns red. If you
click on No, the cell will turn yellow as a warning to you, but the value will remain
until you re-enter. If you click on
cancel, the value will be erased and you will need to re-enter data.
Enter On Duty non-driving
hours.
The cells in this column are automatically
calculated based on On Duty and Driving Hours for the 7/8 day 70
hour rule. No data can be entered in
these cells.
Black
with yellow value
Opps! You are out of driving hours.
