Hours of service questions and answers

Also, if he's an O/O with his own authority, he needs to keep his logs for two years, because they are supporting evidence for IFTA, and they can audit back to two years.

 

o/o & or have own authority & not sure about log procedure??

 

Can I just scan my logs and keep on file that way??

 

Probably. But, some dot guy might want to see the original copies during the six month life.

In the event that you have an accident, they might try to find all of them prior.

 

Can you mark not the eighth day so you done do a 34 restart.

 

We are still governed by the 70 hr/8 day rule. You have the "option" of taking 34 hours off at any time during the week and reset your hours. A 34 hour reset can be attained while on the road away from your home and can be combined with sleeper berth time to accumulate the necessary 34 hours off. The key is not to show any driving time or on duty not driving time during that 34 hour period.

 

Hi everyone, i have a question, I recently went over my 14 hours of service, what happened was i drive a day cab on an overnight short haul/line job.
A few days ago i got to the hotel with 25 minutes to spare,logged myself off duty on my OBC, when i went to check in they were sold out of rooms, by the time i got back in the cab my 25 minutes had expired, but i had nowheres to sleep and i didnt feel safe in the parking lot, so i drove 4 miles to the next nearest hotel, is this a violation?
If not i would like to find some documentation somewheres to print and show my boss
thank you all for your help.

 

Technically if you weren't under load and had been released from work for the day that could be logged as off duty. Also, you could cover 4 miles in under 7 minutes so even if you did log it, it would roll back to the previous 15 mark and it'd still be legal.
