If you are operating with a m/c# and a dot# and
are required t o keep a logbook, then you have to show y
Y our off duty and sleeper berth time. And yes they can ask for recieps.

 

they can ask for anything they want.
You have to produce whats required and receipts are not required.

 

Had a scalemaster want proof by way of motel to prove I was not working.

 

It's not your job to prove you wasn't working, it's his to prove you were. They try anything they can on the unknowing. Last time I was asked about receipts I said you mean I'm supposed to have them?
Once they know you know their game they move on to the next thing.

 

They were going to charge me with false logs of off duty and I had to prove I was. She stated I was probably pulling a trailer and lying.

 

They can make any kind of threat they want. Off duty means just that none of their business. I've asked for a supervisor more than once.
I had one few months back at scales on I10 in fl run out to bother me, he started some talk about logging. I looked at him told he's wrong and the doofus said he's checking to see if I Knew the rules. If one was to threaten me if I didn't show receipts I ask them to show me where it said I had to and how they intended to prove I wasn't off duty.

 

I haul cars 150 mile of Nashville and sleep in my bed just about every night not great but doing ok but im home that's what I like after being on the road for over 25 years

 

She had already stated that I would be put out of service for 10 hours if I could not prove what I was doing on the two days. I had to deliver the trailer that day. It was Friday and it could not be delivered late. Besides, I was in Canada at the Montana side of the scale and did not want to spend 3 days in their country.

So, a person could argue the facts and still win and lose.

I am well aware of the rules and also know that as of 2005, we are required to have substantiation.

 

Please post the rule requiring substantiation . The interesting part was being in Canada though . Look at any carrier's OOS percentages and they will always be higher in Canada . Does Canada allow Off Duty in a nonmoving CMV ?
