Do you run illegal on your logs?

My highly successful trucking friends break log book law, they falsely write down there hours and breaks, I would get to confused and end up doing myself in eventually. Also I learned when I was 15 what breaking the law can do when caught, so never again do I break laws. Just rules.

Your welcome for not answering your question.

 

Haven't driving on the new log rules, but when it was 8 hours, I broke it, many many times.

Ok everybody, string me up from a tall tree.

 

lol, luckily for you, we're out of rope.

 

I always kept my miles and hours at around an average of 50-55 mph. Sometimes, I have stretched it to 60 or more, but 90% of the time I kept is around 55.

But that was then, this is now. If I go back out on the road, I will log it like I drive it and stay perfectly legal, no matter what.

 

I basically quit log falsification when I got away from irregular route long-haul in 1983.
I appreciate the 10-hour break on my local job, because eight hours is not enough time to commute back and forth to work, eat two meals, shower and shave, read the newspaper, check The Truckers Report, and sleep at least seven hours.

 

I never short distances, if it is a 300 mile run, I have to list the times needed to make a 300 miles run. However, there are times that I will only show a minimum time to unload while it actually took me a bit longer. If I stop and shoot the breeze with someone along the way, I may deduct that time rather than have to show that in the logbook. I make sure that my fuel stops are right where they are supposed to be, or that I fueled at a location that does not time stamp my fuel. (The pump at our home office only reports the day you fueled, not the time. This encourages drivers to fuel there, and we often do!)

I don't run a perfect logbook, but when audited it always comes up clean, so the amount of off the books things that I am doing seem not to be coming back to haunt me.
