That would be a bummer, was it do you think your speed that caused it to not match say 100mi down the road further than your time would allow. Or did you actually log the time.
Are we being watched? DOT verifying logbooks by computer

well, I know the cameras in those speed cameras are good enough to show the driver. No getting around saying it wasn't you behind the wheel. Same thing with the Scale cameras.

The cameras are good. Here's a guy who found a way to beat them; in the end the police setup a surveillance at his house to catch him changing.

Scale and possibly traffic cameras make the most sense.
After that story got out we had some drivers swearing up and down it was the barcode on the license plates. lol -
nope, no speeding. i'm the only truck that obeys the speed limit. the rest of you like to fly around me. LOL.
so if your rolling through the western states and you come up on the only truck actually doing the speed limit. that's probably me.
i don't have money to spend on a lawyer fighting a speeding ticket. -
Your pulling 40 Tons of steel down a public road. I want to know where you are. Your WORKING. These fancy trucks make your job better. No second chance in what We do. Most of US are Good to Great. Some change jobs. Some don't.

Wow the PARANOIA here us stifling!!
O&mcgoo--no I do Not mean 5over--u can b cited for driving more than 5mph UNDER the posted limit between any 2 points on ur log....
don't confuse an officer working traffic and their discretion on whom to stop and cite and why with a log audit/inspection....
And remember folks the all the OP stated was--the driver told him the scalemaster was checkin just his log book against the computer -
They're out to get us. It's a conspiracy, the cameras are taking our souls and putting them in a jar and giving them to the government.
Not really, I'm just bored -
how could you be cited for going to0 slow on your logs.
how do they figure that factor out.
cuz realistically. NO ONE can drive the speed limit and the miles in the timeframe used.
you've got traffic lights, hills, scales, fuel if needed, traffic, maybe an accident, construction zones. ETC
