    And if you were outside your HOS eventually the computers will come up with the timestamps.

    They gave me 2-3 weeks and was wondering how I can keep my driver engaged in the mean time. Thanks

    What do you mean by "keep the driver engaged"? Just curious.

    Have him drive the truck?

    It doesn't take much longer for him to pull into a scale and leave.

    A Pre-pass does not mean you won't get pulled over. It just means that you'll get pulled over when you least expect it.
