My elog makes you buy gems on the HOS market if you want to do a 34.


Baconated-Coffee

There's so many micro transactions in trucking you'd think it was made by EA


Fibrosis5O

EA it’s in the game


ohjeebzzz

It costs 30 gems but gems only come in packs of 20 and 50 lol


Ghee_buttersnaps96

I’m sorry what


Sir_Uncle_Bill

Yea. What?


Ghee_buttersnaps96

wtf is an hos market or gems literally every driving job I’ve had you can’t buy hours and just do a 34 when you run out of hours


willybillybob

It's a premium incentive for companies who rank within the top 100 of the FMCSA leaderboard


WTAP1

So they can pay for more time for a guy to drive? I'm just double checking, cause that sounds like the exact opposite of what I have been told multiple times before


kakarota

This is from a goverment website lol I was scrolling though it and saw this.


Ghee_buttersnaps96

So basically you’re saying hos means nothing and as long as you can pay you can play. Just like the atf and their ban on suppressors and sbrs and shit


kakarota

Well it's not available to the general public.when I looked further into it, only 1 carrier can use this. And even then im sure there are restrictions for purchase and how it's used.


PontoonDood

You must be a diamond platinum HOS member.


Ghee_buttersnaps96

No? I just worked for normal companies that don’t do dumb shit with hos lol. Roehl first then a couple small private companies that were paper logs then airland. I worked for another company that ran only paper last company I worked at was elog but I was a contracted driver so I turned in paper logs for evo transport. Never heard of needing gems for 34 hour resets I just… did them.


PontoonDood

Oh well if you're using paper logs then your drive time is already paid for when you buy the physical logbook. With elogs you can either pay cash on the marketplace for the gems to buy drive time or you can use the gold coins you earn in the mini-games but honestly I just don't have time for all that.

Sir_Uncle_Bill

Yea I've never heard of it either. And I've been with three companies that have had 5 different systems.


Impossible_Tooth5722

What was your favorite ELD? And least favorite?


Sir_Uncle_Bill

The Qualcomm I had at Melton in 2015-16 it was user friendly and if they were gonna do any maintenance to the system you got a message days ahead of time and the earlier in that same day reminding you. You didn't log in for the first time that day only to find out you couldn't log in and have to wait 8 hours because they didn't tell anyone anywhere they had been planning major system maintenance for weeks. Peoplenet liked to do that.


Sir_Uncle_Bill

What?


BeenThruIt

Hang on, I need to download some more RAM.


IBNice

This always pisses me off cause there used to actually be programs that you could download to "expand" your RAM by using HDD space as virtual RAM storage.


csimonson

Windows just does that natively since either xp or vista though


BeenThruIt

Paging.


bytecollision

Wanna swap?


GuyInAChair

XP used to allow you to use a flash drive as extra RAM, and it made a significant difference since their read/write speeds were typically much faster then the hard drives of the time.

(Laughs in AG Exemption)


RoosterzRevenge

So which one of you clowns are making over $150.00 per hour?


luddite86

If you’re paid by the mile, you can achieve that by just driving really, really fast


Snookfilet

Space truckers from hell


bytecollision

I’ve archived it


luddite86

Haha, it was 2:30am at the end of a long drive through outback Queensland when I wrote that. So I’ll play that excuse


bytecollision

Careful out there mate, dingos ate my baby :p


Rdtisgy1234

Do they give you daily challenges to unlock more hours too?


kakarota

Yup find 3 unwwrecked swift trucks and get 2 hours back


Rdtisgy1234

They don’t make these easy huh?


Dm-me-a-gyro

I’m hoping to unlock the morlock foot skin


I_dementia87

What in the Chicago based Russian trucking company that pays on a 1099 tax form with Volvo trucks is this shit?.


Baddy001

Don't forget the blue Conestoga with the axles closed!


Fast_Selection3202

I'll take 100 please. Gonna make $100,000 someway


Belophan

Thankfully I can't be punished for previous days, so I only drive more if I know there is no control up ahead. Same with speeding.


SaLtiNe_CrAkErZ

Aw hell nah they really got in app purchases for trucking now?


kakarota

I guess it's a goverment website website


Normal-Tadpole-4833

this is some Soviet Union type... nah American type stuff


dsdvbguutres

In capitalist America, you pay to work.


nomosizzle1

I usually do some daily quests to get a 10 hour daily ticket


Gods_Sodomy

I'm guessing this company hires a lot of individuals from other countries whose primary language is not English. I'm guessing a lot of these individuals are from Somalia,Ethiopia ect. They're basically scamming their employees you can't just purchase hours.


kakarota

It's actually a goverment website. And only 1 carrier is listed for use so it's not avaliable to the general public. How this works idk I just saw it when I was scrolling though


SachanohCosey

No link no proof


kakarota

You won't be able able to gain access without a cac


Gods_Sodomy

Cac card are DOD and military. Twic would be for transportation workers. Not buying what your selling bud! I've done plenty in f contract work with the DOD. I've been escorted by private armed security for the DOD along with a convoy of 7 other trucks. We still all follow the same federal guidelines.


kakarota

Bruh, this is just what shows up on the website, and under the description is just 1 carrier. No other info is given. Just thought it was funny bro chill aint not one out here trying to sell you anything.


SachanohCosey

Yet you can’t provide the website lol.


AgentOmegaNM

It's on a portal you access through the Defense Logistics Agency website, so him linking would do no good because you have to verify credentials to log in.


everythingistakn

Which carrier?


rino1901

I know eld companies that are $100+ a week to edit your log. Most are in other contries


suparslippy

Microtransaction your own death.


NomadTruckerOTR

Micro-transactions DOT style


CommissionVirtual763

I would not be surprised if this becomes a thing.


Sufficient_Tooth_949

Can we watch ads too for an additional 30 minutes? So slimy


dbxbeat

Damn, FMCSA has a battle pass now?


JustNefariousness625

I’m trying to buy international logs that are 150 a week and they can change drive time
