Yeah true, but you have proof to back it up. For those of us like me with no tracking devices, we'd have to bend our logs to fit the paperwork. I'd have to go down to the next exit or something and sit to burn the time up till my log matched, just to make sure.

My problem is the opposite. I did not use 45 minutes of on duty time. My delivery ended up being made in a time that makes logging it that way impossible.

Well, like I said before, they've rigged the whole system against us. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Paperwork has the wrong times on it. Shows it as 45 minutes long when it was less than 20 minutes.

If I log it to match the document, I have completed a false log.
the real question is how many violations did they discover and how many did they miss???

In my case it'd just make the delivery that much later. That's one of the main reasons I stick with flatbed. Appointments? Hah!

Can't. Called in at the arrival time and delivery. Was not until well after that I noticed the time differences on the sheet.

Besides, why should I lose duty hours?

I still have to run another run over the weekend and be in Dallas on Monday morning and Houston in the afternoon.

CSA 2010: The enforcement

CSA 2010: The enforcement
Quote:
You could probably flip a coin to decide which scares a trucker more – a full-blown, on-site compliance review or an IRS audit. Neither one is a pleasant experience. They are both lengthy, burdensome processes.

The on-site compliance review – currently pretty much FMCSA’s only tool in its enforcement arsenal – is such an involved process that with current staffing levels, fewer than 2 percent of the motor carriers in the country are audited each year.

That too will change with the launch of CSA 2010.


After all of the violations are entered, chewed up and spit out of the CSA 2010 Safety Management System, motor carriers will be rated in all of the BASIC compliance areas. The higher the ranking percentile, the more noncompliant the motor carrier or driver. These rankings will be updated on a continual basis.


Those rankings will help FMCSA enforcement personnel determine what method of enforcement – now called interventions – to pick. Enforcement will no longer be a one-size-fits-all scenario.


Enforcement can be triggered by:

This thread brings up the whole issue of data challenges in the CSA 2010 system.

There is no way that I could see for a driver to get incorrect information in the CSA 2010 system fixed.
