so, you think your safe with the elog and hos.

How?

I send in my original logs with the paperwork and now do not have duplicates. Only one set.

So, let us look at the law in respect to those that use DDL. They only print one copy. The are not in duplicate.

How about the EOBR, they are not in duplicate.

 

Because I had single sheets of paper that I printed of my copy machine at home. No duplicates. The officer indicated that he had the right to sieze the originals roadside and thats why the law is there in case the siezing officer doesn't have a copy machine handy.Bottom line is the officer that wrote me up was a zealot and no I have never been written up for HOS violations just form and manner.

 

Kinda reminds me of Invasion of the Body Snatchers....
"Don't worry....Just go to sleep....It won't hurt....And when you wake up....You'll be one of 'us'..."

 

This is very interesting. The law also requires that the original logs be forwarded to the company.

So, you send the originals to the company and now only have the copy in your truck. The officer now seizes the log.

When they take the log, you are allowed to copy it.

 

There was something else you're not telling us....You know...Your demeanor at the time.....As an example....

Like I stated before...My BIT inspector told me what I do is absolutely acceptable and not illegal....
And he knows a hell of lot more about the regs than the "Scale Whales" do....

 

You are not supposed to hand in originals with your paperwork until they are 8 days old. You can't have originals in your possesion that are more than 13 days old.

 

Prove it....Show it "Chapter and verse" in the regs....

 

We are only required to have 8 days of logs on us....The 9th and the other preceding should be removed and out of sight from DOT....

They only time one is required to show beyond 8 days is....If one is getting a BIT done....And TTBOMK....Only Cali does this....
I doubt there is Coop anywhere that would require you to pull out a log from 6 months back....

 

Send me the link to support that statement.

I am referring to the 8 day comment.
