Man all I can say is I'm sure glad to be a company driver... With that said I know by reg's I'm required to log all time spent cleaning and turning a wrench on this truck. So that gives me another option to take, I will pay the youngster at the house to do that, Hummm she needs a car, This could work well, or not.

However, you would have to immediately log line 4 (On Duty Not Driving) at whatever time the accident occurred until you are free to leave the scene.

Its a good thing the "REAL WORLD" doesn't reflect the commentary of on-line forums.
Because there would be literal hundreds of thousands
of double O's busted.
We keep the IRS happy and NEVER SWEAT the DOT hounds.

Can you: go to the sleeper while they repair your equipment? if yes go to the sleeper.
Can you: Go to eat while they repair you? If so log it as of duty
However make sure you are really doing the above, such as if you log off duty u must be away from the truck /eating etc.Working Class Patriot Thanks this. -
Canada is the hard one. Most Canadian Provinces require the repairman to be licensed and put their name and license number on the repair receipt.Last edited: May 20, 2009
Working Class Patriot, 25(2)+2 and jlkklj777 Thank this. -
The FMCSA has indicated brake repair receipts from a reputible shop would subsitute the need to maintain proof of a brake repairman's qualification; however, now the question begs how far from the house was the repair made.
In accordance with CVSA standards non-OOS violations must be repaired once the vehicle delivers the load before the vehicle is dispatched on any subsequent run. Again repair receipts would have to be provided to document who performed the work.
Be safe.
