Do you run illegal on your logs?

Are Ready mix trucks only required 8 hours off? or do they have to be off 10 hours between shifts. I know they have a 24 hour restart.

 

I try to log it like I run it. We all need to wake to the fact that not only safety is involved,but every time we cheat our logs,run overweight,and take those runs that we know we can't do legally and say"I'll cover it" that we are just cheating ourselves as well as our fellow drivers. Yeah,yeah I know some of you are saying "that's the way it is","we have to to make a decent living",yes,I know I've been driving 25 yrs. BUT,If we really want a rate increase so we CAN make a decent living and support our familys we HAVE to stick together on this. As long as some of us are willing to stretch the rules big business,ie shippers and brokers,ARE NOT going to increase the rates. Why should they? "Hell, 'ol Joe trucker will run it this way if John trucker won't. So let's put the rate increase in our pockets" See the problem here Drivers?? We don't even need to have a strike. All we would have to do is run legal and log all the hours,EVEN THE ONES that we all cheat on - the ones spent loading and unloading. We can bring attention to this problem and the powers that be would look PLENTY FOOLISH punishing us for RUNNING LEGAL. WE could bring this off in less than 2 weeks,all it takes is doing it......something to think about. What do ya say drivers??

 

our drivers are on 10 hrs off. log on days over 12 hrs, 150 mi. as are the semi drivers.

 

i am sorry that is 100 miles. i guess i had 150 on my mind because one of our plants i went to fri. is 150 miles away. again i was wron..... well i can't say it.

 

they are cdl. 55,000 tagged and air brake.
