Asking for advice -got pulled

The log falsification is your bigger concern.

 

A lawyer who's local to the courthouse is your best bet, they can usually get the charge down to something minor that won't hurt your record. You'll still pay the fine and you'll have their bill too but it's the cost of protecting your license.

 

Maybe dont unplug your ELD.

 

Overweights and logs aren't moving violations.

They'll effect your csa though since you were inspected.

 

Just fines. Nothing to really be concerned about. However, you do actually need to log check in/check out at the shipper and consignee as On Duty time, otherwise it looks like you're just joyriding. Same goes for pre-trip inspections.

 

Your ELog dont automatically change to driving when you start to move at like 10 MPH?

 

I thought it was usually 5 mph on ELD's. Just fast enough to where you can creep around a parking lot off duty if you need to.

 

It's 5 mph.

You can get around this by changing your On Duty status to Yard Move. Yard Move allows tractor speeds up to 20 mph. Afterwards, edit your logs to Sleeper Berth or Off Duty.

Works for me. You can make it work for you.

 

Might not work so well during a Log Audit. Every edit SHOWS UP as an edit. Too many will cause suspicion. Good luck with that.
