LOGGING QUESTION.

Log the on-duty not driving for the unload, back to line 3 for the drive home, then line 1 for the home-time

 

Log it like any other day once you get home do post trip then put yourself on line one.Do not move the truck otherwise that will disturb your logs if your on elogs and put u on line 3 or 4.

 

If my home time is long enough I might take out the truck to run errands, but I'll make sure I have time for a 34 first.

 

Sign out of system . Save you in the long run. Prevents you from messing with your restart. And also in the future prevents the shop from from messing with your hours. As they fix your truck.

 

Who's truck is it? Who is restricting your off duty driving?

I am a company driver and they limit OD Driving to a half hour, for normal company drivers. I fall under a different category since I do not have a terminal, I park at home every night.

I am no scholar on all DOT regs, is there a rule limiting off duty driving on a 34? If one is unencumbered by company regulations...

hmmm never thought about doing that

 

Yep when I was a company driver. I learned the hard way. Keep in mind the company still has gps on that truck. So I would not drive it ounce parked. But helps you if you need to move it a short distance

 

It doesn't disturb your 34, I done it before and still got my reset

Signing off before getting truck service prevents the shop guys from running your log. But signing off to drive the truck will notify your company.

I had a new qc computer installed and the shop said don't log in for 2 hours. So I when on paperlog and drove without signing in. My company got notify, my manager got notify, and apparently they thought someone stole truck
