Logs,
No he didn't get in trouble with any of the gals yet. I did tell him about the line 4 post trip. He said he's been writing it on there but he must have forgot a couple of times, so I can only assume he must have been tired and did it, but forgot to add it to his log when he stopped. He was just in there yesterday (Wednesday) at the Indy term. He came over a couple of times to see you but couldn't ever catch you at your desk. I'll try to take a peek at his log book when he gets home and see if he's missing any post trips and what days. He's supposed to be home this afternoon instead of tomorrow so when he gets here I'm going to grab his blue book and spend some time really reading the section on logging. If I have any questions on it, I'll send you a PM. I never took the time to do more than glance at it when he was home last time instead of sitting down and really reading it.
Thanks for your input Logs. I'll make sure to print your answers to read along with the log section in the manual.

Go FIGURE! I was out yesterday, my daughter was sick
See if he is actually going on line 4 # the end of his working day for his post-trip. It seemed he would do it every couple days. Maybe he is thinking trip/it's supposed to be done every day. Some get that confused. Anyhow have him call me tomorrow "hopefully we won't be busy".
Yeah read it, however there is a few things that I am changing: Like scale , dropping, hooking(15 minutes at least), But read it, I give tips as to what would be nice to do ! Especially read about lines 1,2,3 & 4 (what they mean, I hope it's in there) and loading/unloading well all of it l.o.l.

Go ahead and "split hours" and then get back with me after doing this for a month. If the company you drive for does log audits, let me know how you fare? I know companies that have put out bulletins against "splitting hours". Now someone sitting in an office might explain how simple and easy this method is, but even when you were allowed to do a "5 and 5", running solo this method would eventually come back to haunt you.
Why "split", if you are going to "sleep" for 6, then why not "sleep" for 10 and be done with it

"If you split you can only do a 8-2 split now"
My whole point! It is completely stupid for a driver to start this mess.
Even when I ran team, years ago, we ran 5 and 5 and I would certainly hate to do the 8 hour deal as a team driver, oh my aching back!
Take 8 off, why not take two more hours and be in the clear.

Nope the 2 hour break can come first and any officer that tells you that isn't true tell them to view the dot examples on the federal motor carrier site and it will show them it can be first! However the 2 hour break does NOT EXTEND or stop the clock!
Many companies say the 2 can't come first because it doesn't extend the 14 hour so they say the 8 has to come first.
But if the 2 comes first then instead of 10, you take 8. Keep in mind the driving hours before the 8 hour break (or 2) is still counting against you. Thus meaning you might drive 4 hours and have to stop for that shower and meal again (Hmm taking a shower every day legally
Just trying to help you learn bits and pieces and eventually keep reading my messages and it will click and then you all will understand what I am saying! -
