A see this as in "he did things right"?...What could they say that could hurt you?...Educate me please as that doesn't make sense to me...
And like I said, I'd rather get fired for doing things right than for getting caught with a fudged book and possibly hurting my chances of getting another job...

It's been in the test stage and very soon, will be in all trucks.
It'll not only make the truckers honest but the companies and shippers will have to comply because the truckers can't play their games anymore.
Truckers small pay will be cut, loads will be late, and the whole industry will have to rethink how they operate.
I'm all for running legal. Illegal pays no extra. All the new regs will get us more pay as the bad is weeded out and the good drivers are in high demand. -
CSA 2010 will make them more accountable. Just wait and see. -

I know the games dispatcher and carriers play, but at some point you as a man, have to make a decision. Do I do this or do I stand up and tell them no. Unfortunately when I have a driver on the side of the road that is in this position, you can not put the company or dispatcher out of service. They are not operating the CMV, the driver is. Ultimately the driver is responsible for his own actions, you can only pass the buck so far. I hope you don't take this as a bash on you, because it is not. There are driver's that do this for years and years, millions of miles with no collision. Then one day, no fault of their own they are riding and minding their own business. And something castrophic happens and now this driver is involved in a crash that he did not cause, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now everything he has done in the last week or so is scrutinized like you can not imagine. The end loser is a driver that has violated the hours of service. Like some have posted, I have never seen a carrier or dispatcher put anything in writing to violate this or that as related to HOS. You never will. The carrier will back away from the driver and throw him under the bus and he will become part of collateral damage that the carrier will try to distance themselves from. So the driver is left to hang in the wind and fend for himself. Just please think of this scenario as it can happen. It has happended for a few that I have seen. They never thought it would happen to them, but it did. They didn't plan on having this wreck as they were multi million milers with clean safety records to only get caught up in a bad deal, that was no fault of their own.
Again, please do not take this as a bash towards you because that is not my intentions. Good luck to you and remember everyone has decisions they have to live with. -

In 2008, a federal judge ruled the QC is open game for DOT. If your logs are in the QC, you bet the officer can ask to see your logs. You can either show them to him or her in the QC or you can sit around the coop waiting for your company to fax them. I'd rather just give up the QC...and have, when asked by a Texas DOT. No big deal.
