If I run double logs will the DOT in CA be able to track where I have been through the weigh stations I go through?

At the moment, no.
However, they are in the process of linking in with Oregon, WA, ID and NV with a system that will.
The system currently is working in OR, WA and ID. All trucks are recorded at all weigh stations either via entry or by the transponder, each time they pass a weigh station. If the math doesn't work out, they're singled into the station for log verification and further scrutiny.
there have been some fairly well publicized 'catches' in the PNW with this system and CA is joining the group thanks to a grant from the feds thru the DOT.
In addition to this system, a new POE is proposed in Needles.Leon Phelps III and heyns57 Thank this. -
Any idea when they will begin.

If you have a prepass they can..
plus if you have an accident a good lawyer will find out by checking your bol...

I don't have a prepass and I use paper logs. My co driver is MIA during a LayOver and I need to be home Friday for my son.
I really would appreciate it if anyone know the date of implementation for this new agreement between CA & OR because these are the states I will be traveling through.
Thanks in advance. -
Truckers involved in accidents are tracked with cell phone and fuel data and blame is quickly reversed if you are found to be where you shouldn't.

I believe prepass data is erased every 2 hours.

He doesnt have prepass.. but you can go online and track back as far as you want... previous company showed me how they did it..
There are so many ways to get caught nowadays...even when you think you got away with it they can go back on you in an audit...
Glad i run elogs now...eliminates the hastle
Good luckA21CAV, HotH2o and Tonythetruckerdude Thank this. -
As a new driver you need to learn how to run the right way and log the right way before you even consider trying to run double logs. If an officer suspects you double logging they can easily pull fuel records and other time stamps.
Don't think you are going to get rich running illegal because you won't. Them fines are rather large.
Now that you posted on a public leo viewed trucking forum with your name they'll be watching for you!tow614, PackRatTDI and Balakov100 Thank this. -
Well if I was a betting man I would bet if they don't have the agreement yet they won't have it by Friday .
If you have to be there by friday just do what it takes and if you get caught take your medicine like a man go on with your life.kw9's rock, Joetro, TheLittleGuy and 1 other person Thank this.
