You miss the point, it isn’t about saying you don’t make the mistake but how are you going to ensure that you won’t make that mistake again or limiting them.
You record is tarnished, one oos is bad, two is really bad.

When whoever you spoke on the phone with said it would be more for education, they mean they want to guide you in establishing some form of safety protocols or programs. Something tangible that you can report with like driver education programs, equipment checklists, etc.
It’s kinda hard to tell how deep they’re gonna have to go without knowing the particulars, but there is not a whole lot that they haven’t seen or dealt with. Be honest, open and available and that’ll help more than you’d know.

Maybe, there was a filthy and full truck stop, the guy had 1 hour to go home, so he did. I don't blame him for it and I would do that too, in a heartbeat. He did not kill nor injured anyone in the process, perhaps he was not even tired. Would it be more legal to take rest on an exit ramp in that case? Maybe he was sloppy and got caught but it does not mean he did something questionable on moral grounds.Trucker61016, Bean Jr., lester and 4 others Thank this. -
Simple fact is people who run over hours are more likely to be involved in a wreck. So yes it offendes me this piss poor driver is willing to put my family's life at risk because he refuses to do his job correctly. If he wants to go work on his own land for 100 hours straight, I don't care. When he gets on the road with my family, it becomes my business.Saltyoldone Thanks this. -

Whether or not I log that I am off duty or in the sleeper before I go home is irrelevant to the safety on the road.rollin coal, Trucker61016, Brettj3876 and 4 others Thank this. -
This also isn't someone that decided to go over hours once. This is someone who does it so often he's been caught several times. It's also someone who refuses to take responsibility for what he did, blaming it on the ELD instead of his lack of planning. -
I rarely agree with zdar, that being said, he is right about working longer makes you fatigued..fact. The guy triggered an audit.. probably fact. To get audited and be told the reason was ,that there were discrepancies in your RODS, he ####ed up. Would I do different? Nope, I would have PCed home too.
That being said, I agree that some people need to get caught and I have no sympathy for them(we all see people we want caught, every single day, on here and on the road), but, I don't have enough actual information on OP to know whether he falls in that category or not.
