he did that, it went out again, they said it was en electrical issue and couldn’t get it fixed anytime soon and to only drive during the day, even though that wasn’t possible with the loads and the waiting time for unloading/loading.

“ELDs”
Sounds like they may have looked at the time stamps on his bills and bounced them against his log? What did he do, log off duty for loading/unloading?
Otherwise, I’m confused how he screwed up an e-log bad enough to get caught.
For future reference, he should follow these two simple guidelines.
1. Do not drive a CMV with a SAFETY defect (tires, brakes, lights, leaks).
2. Log as he goes.Driverjames50, Rideandrepair and Wasted Thyme Thank this. -

Intentionally falsifying logs is a pretty serious charge original poster. I’m pretty sure it can even be deemed criminal. I think it’s a misdemeanor. If they can prove you are intentionally falsifying the logs. They’ll even send under cover drivers to work for companies they suspect are cheating on logs. Don’t take it lightly and I suggest bringing in a good lawyer

Big difference between failure to keep current log. And falsifying log. I second the Lawyer. Best defense is an honest mistake. If it’s in fact a falsifying log ticket. It’s an expensive one. I got one once, went to Court, got it reduced to not current log. That’s really all they had. $ 50 fine vs. $300 fine. Headlight on CSA won’t hurt much.I think it’s a revolving 36 mos. on CSA record. Falsifying log probably will hurt CSA. Fight the ticket. Might cost $600 or more, do what it takes. As of now he’s only been accused not found guilty.

I remember going into the flying J in Ehrenburg Az years before Pilot bought them out. It was early in the morning and I walked in and sit down to order. I was humming a song I long ago forgot the title. The server came over to me, poured a cup of coffee, and gave me a menu. I noticed a few minutes later a slice of apple pie. I told her I did not order pie, but that it sure looked good. She said, no, it was just her way of saying thank you! She just needed to see a smile and a happy face that morning. Just never know how far a good attitude will carry you in this life!Rideandrepair and Moosetek13 Thank this.
