The issue of pulling a trailer while off duty has come up before . Mike_MD stated if the trailer is empty you are unladen and able to log off duty . The exception would be if the trailer itself was the load . For example , a new trailer being delivered . -
Huh ? sounds like dead-head to me ?

That's assuming a guy doesn't have a DOT officer living nearby or driving by at the precise moment he's doing said wrenching.

All O/O's are required to keep a "log" of repairs to the truck. Date and what was done to the truck. I got a nice lecture on our "startup" audit about this. You also have to keep copies of the receipts for the parts in that "log" as well. So, if your honest about the day you turned the wrench, then your screwed.
Thank goodness the boys do most of our light maintenance and repairs, just to give dad a break.Scarecrow03 Thanks this. -
Who's to say that an O/O doesn't have a diesel mechanic as a friend who comes over and does all the work for him for a couple beers and a steak dinner?
I'll take psanderson's word for this over Rick's all day long. It's #### near impossible to prove.
bullhaulerswife Thanks this. -
I agree, Mr Sanderson has never tried to steer anyone wrong here, so I would go with his word as well.Scarecrow03 Thanks this. -
If I had to log all the time I turned a wrench on Old Bull...there wouldn't be any time for line 3.....
