Co-driver drives on my log

The way to handle this is quit. Next time your in the home terminal walk in and nicely tell them you're quitting. When they ask why tell them you have no desire to work for a company that allows their drivers to cheat and falsify a federal document. You can be guilty simply by allowing your log book to be used. That's illegal and if a fatality accident happens your cabdriver will take you down with him and he won't have to say a word. The police will do it all for him. Most likely the company will act shocked and give you another driver. If they don't then you don't want to work for this company anyway.

 

Co driver! Not cabdriver

 

Trust is broken. He violated your trust, and then laughed at you. Like Scottie said, if he needs to throw you under the bus, he will do so without hesitation. Can you drive with someone whom you cannot trust? That will eventually make you ill.

 

And in a team operation you can't stress TRUST enough. Seems to me that there should be a way to password protect this.

 

My old partner knew my password and I knew his. We never drove on each others clocks though. I came close one time, dropped off partner and was bobtailing to terminal, then home. was getting close to running out of hours and thought I aint stopping this close. Made it in time though. Had her topped out at 65 lol -

No, do not let idiot co-driver run on your clock. contact company at once to CYA

 

Ok op time to play dumb.

I would take the suggestion from Scottie but I would not ask about the new password, I would ask how it works with two drivers using the same log. You could really play it up by saying that you didn't see anywhere on the internet or on any trucking forum on how to share logs and becuase your co-driver said it was alright but doesn't want to share, you would like to learn more about sharing logs to you can share his the right way and extend your drive time to 18 hours.

Oh and by the way op, if you were working for me and you went to my safety girl with that, we would have you coming back to the office solo, I would have fired that pos driver and left him on the side of the road with his crap, I do not tolerate risking your cdl because of his/her actions.

 

This is so messed up. Contact your safety person immediately. But first download a call recording app to your phone. Any chance the company is as corrupt as your co-driver, you better have it in sound bites.
You are risking too much by staying mum on this.

 

Play stupid, call and ask as Ridgeline said. It is serious, he broke the trust, you didn't. I would be surprised if the company would laugh about it, my guess is they won't be laughing, they know the company will be put under an electron microscope if he is caught. Just for curiosity, if he is driving on your clock, who's clock do you drive on?

 

This topic kind of confuses me. I was under the impression that both drivers got paid for the total miles the truck drove. If this is correct what would motivate jumping on your co drivers clock? Don't make much sense to me.

 

Why does he/she need to drive on your clock? I’m assuming it’s because they’ve gone over on theirs- but what were you doing while they were driving all this time?
