    Make sure you plug in that USB stick every week and do a back up or you'll get red alerts all over the place.

    When I had my Cascadia I bought a splitter for the computer port and put the entire connector inside the kick panel so it’s not sticking out. Then I brought the cable up to the top of the dash. Makes it easier to unplug when you’re out of the truck and you won’t kick it with wet shoes when trying to press the clutch.

    Another plus to having the Garmin e log is if you forget to go on yard move you can switch it over and it will count those couple of minutes that you forgot even if you drove as long as you didn't drive 20 mph

    Oooooo shiny new GPS. I got a older Dezl model and I’m noticing the “updates” aren’t really updates. There’s still some new roads that are missing. Hopefully that’s not a way of Garmin making me upgrade to a new one after spending 5 Bengies on it.

      @@neilanderson6818 I need to make a better video...I had used two cameras to film the setup and lost half the footage got mad and just posted this monstrosity. Using bluetooth you have to sync the elog to a cell phone or tablet. On the device you synced yo you must create a admin account. It'll ask you if your going to do 7 day log or 8 day and some other questions. Then you have to make a driver account. From the driver account you will operate the elog system. Click on everything get to know what it does. Every week you have to back up or validate the data by installing a thumb drive to the elog. Hope this helps
