[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1277547, member: 28388"] I don't encourage or condone trying to trick the system. Be honest and transparent. That being said I'll clear up a couple things about backing and telematics. 1. The system does not register a back until you have been in reverse for 3 seconds. This is necessary or else when you shift out of park through reverse intro drive it would register a back every time you start up your truck. 2. Neutral does not show up as a back so it doesn't go into your backing mileage, backing counts or back first exceptions. The system does allow them to see what gear you are in though (not on a report). We had a center manager ask a steward last year why a driver was in neutral so much. 3. You only show up as a back first exception after hitting stop complete. If you stop your truck, get out to open the barn doors then start the truck up backing up to the dock immediately after turning it on, it doesn't register as back first exception because you didn't complete a stop. Now if after doing that you have to deliver to another dock 50 feet away and back again it will throw the exception. If you just safely back when you need to, don't try to hide anything and be honest it's not an issue. [/QUOTE]
