Can I be on line 4 past my 14th hour?

You can be on line 4 past your 14th hour! I had a word document for you, with a log grid picture but the file is to large (again).

Many drivers do not understand you can be on line 4 past your 14 hour without being in violation!

Therefore I can spend 2 hours doing a post-trip inspection, fueling, loading, scaling (anything if you get the point).

This is why I stress doing a thorough post-trip inspection because you are not stressed in rushing like you are your pre-trip because it is not affecting your 14 hour period!

It is however affecting your 70 hour. Which it would regardless where you log it!

DOT just states you can not “DRIVE” after your 14th hour!


I am suprised weekly in how many drivers are not told this; since it would be important to know any many cases

 

You was right then and the same still holds! DOT does not care if you are on-duty they don't want you driving past 14 hours; you should per them be sleepy or exhausted!:smt048 Good job! I hope you didn't make another mistake on the log though. Some drivers don't see where they mess up and think they know where they did. Always ask them where the violation is,then argue your point (HOpe you are right when you argue, we are mean if you are wrong and we are right) LMBO! I am sure you know you are right, but I always suggest just to make sure you both are on the same page. It also helps rookie auditors learn!

 

As we discussed on pm, I will explain what I am going to do for the rest of you.

I am going to e-mail this quesiton to DOT on Monday and we will see what they have to say about it to make sure.

I don't see logging line 4 for the time to drive the truck from the island to the parking spot should be any problem what so ever. Now driving down the road is another subject.
I will look over the regulations also when I get back home in about an hour

Any other suggestions on this is welcome

 

This week was so hectic I did not do it

I will type it up this weekend and e-mail it out Monday.

I want to type something really proper and put a suggestion to add it to the questions and answers sections.
I get the same questions and to be honest the book is very vague about them and I want direct answers to the questions and so do many drivers.

So I want this to be a good proper Question & Answer e-mail.
BEARRRRRR with me, I have allotttt going on at work and to breath is lucky for me !
