The software that our company uses is totally locked down and it would be very difficult or impossible to run a ghost driver on it (I'm a local city driver, BTW, and Hours of Service rules apply to me also). Our software is tied to the time clock so when we physically punch in, the clock starts regardless on if we are logged in to the ELD tablet or not. It's still keeping track though.
