Fines for driving over 11

Keep the "clean" version with you up front....but don't have anything but the current working log in the "mistake prone" log book previous to today.

Just don't have 2 log books "working" at the same time!

confused yet?

 

Are they paying you by the hour to do that? Go buy a clipboard & save yourself the aggravation,then you could still use the company logbooks.

 

Someone posted somewhere on the forum a new list of fines for 2011 in CA....HOS flubs start at $616.00!

 

Otherhalf you beat me to it. I worked for Greyhound at the Santa Barbara,Ca terminal about 20 years ago. One of the extra board drivers didn't have his logbook up to date. His fine then was $500.

 

I just yank the staples out of mine.

If and when I make a mistake during my day, I usually just correct it, then circle the mistake and write a few words as a reason for the mistake. Figure that if the DOT checks my books that day, it's obvious that I am not trying to hide anything or falsify my logs, but is just a simple mistake. Then, at the end of the day, I will recopy that log with the mistakes to look neat and be correct.

Have yet to be checked with any of my mistake logs, but I have been checked with my stapes removed books, and the DOT had no issue with it.

 

I dont think they care to much how you do it , staples removed on a clipboard , loose leaf or pulling pages adding new ones and resetting. they want nice neat readable logs with stright lines. A clean truck inside and out with neat logs will have you just driving by when the DOT guy standing on the scale is hand picking his paycheck for the week.

 

No ######?? $3000..........................................I did not know that.. Seriously.. If I had,dont know if I would have ..nevermind..

 

what would it matter, as long as you have 8 days...torn out pages shouldnt matter,due to if you make a mistake an tare the page out ,its one less for dot to see....once again as long as you have your 8 days

 

I got a log falsification ticket in WI in connection to the accident I was in in '09... it was $250.00 with court costs.
