As a one-truck show, I am not required to do a daily inspection. But I still do....

Because people come here looking for answers. HONEST answers to hard and sometime confusing topics.

 

yes, it was a state auditor

 

I suggested you give them the 30 minutes you require by COMPANY policy back to address the 30 minute break time and when they start their 14 hour clock

And it went down hill from there.

 

Think of a new entrant and/or a state audit as going to a bar and having a very nice,good looking woman pick you up. Now think of a compliance review as the meanest,ugliest woman dragging you kicking and screaming out of the bar to her house.

 

.... then snapping on the rubber gloves...

 

A while back I was pulled into the Fort Collins scale and the fella went over my log book like he was looking over a rich uncle's last will and testament. I have always marked 15 minutes for my PTI, and he questioned me on how complete my PTI was, given the 15 minutes I claimed. He could not find anything wrong, but it leads me to wonder if I had only flagged the PTI, what the outcome would have been?

 

Exactly. There are only 7 states that require a 15 minute pretrip be shown.
