How did the DOT find out he had started out the day an hour earlier than what was logged?
I'm a rookie here so take it easy on me... -
This didn't "happen" to this guy. He did it to himself. You're going to tell me a driver with 10 years' experience doesn't know any better and a guy from Texas doesn't know how Texas cops operate? Puh-LEEZE!
No, the CDL "might not" be suspended. It WILL be suspended. How are you at landscaping?
This is not a felony. It is a serious infraction, right up there with DUI. Hope you have money saved up for your vacation. Was it worth it?Last edited: Dec 10, 2011
DragonTamerBrat, volvodriver01 and otherhalftw Thank this. -
The rest of what he related is the really bad part, leaving after being placed out of service before he could legally continue, an extremely huge violation with very serious consequences. -
The cop tried to give him a break and just write him for a log violation rather than a speeding ticket, which he easily could have. But, nope. Our hero had to jump the OOS order. Now his goose is cooked. -
Deep pockets will be required.
if you have any chance.
No suspensions,
until convicted !!!
Texas, one of the hardest states on this, call a Good attorney.........Injun Thanks this. -
The following is a partial list of some of the violations the DOT has identified as most likely to predict future involvement in a crash and thus has assigned a value of 10:
Reckless Driving
Using or possessing drugs or alcohol
Operating while ill or fatigued
"Jumping" an Out-of-Service Order
Possessing multiple licenses
