Question 14: What documents satisfy the requirement to show a shipping document number on a record of duty status as found in §395.8(d)(11)?

Guidance: The following are some of the documents acceptable to satisfy the requirement: shipping manifests, invoices/freight bills, trip reports, charter orders, special order numbers, bus bills or any other document that identifies a particular movement of passengers or cargo.

========================
I highlighted document to show that accompanying documents MAY suffice....I've never seen anyone write the BOL number on their log and maybe I've been doing it wrong as well as I was never told I needed to add that info...If DOT needs info on a previous trip where I don't have the associated documents with me any longer, the company can send it to them...

Hopefully someone that's more knowledgeable than myself will chime in and we'll learn together...

 

If you haven't taken the time to read that little green book,

you really should....it will save you a ton of money !!!!!

 

Thats what your trip number is on there for.....

If you are getting written up by a DOT for that.
You have ready ticked them off and is now looking for shieat to bust your aszz.
I have been inspected many times and I only put the shippers name. You can look through 10 years of my logs and check.
I have never been written up or even a verbal warning for a Bol #
This is starting to SMELL like. BS.

 

That's what I figured....

 

No, with the new csa2010, it is something they have found to get revenue. After all, does the BOL # really affect safety?

 

Nah, I was inspected by WSP last week or 2 weeks ago now, I took in my log with my BOL my phys. card and my log as well as reg. etc. etc. and it was never stated that this was required on my Daily Log, I'm going to raise my BS flag on this one. Thanks. TD24

 

that's been a rule before CSA 2010 came around, I've seen others written up for it a few years back. If you get the right guy it's hard to say what they'll nail you for.
