    I was stopped in Maine on the toll roads by the DOT and they checked my log book and I was 2 hours off on my log book comparied to a toll ticket I had. I wasn't over on hours or anything but guy said it was falsification of log book and now I found out that its going to be a $910 and a criminal misdemeanor on my perminant record. Any Ideas what I should/need to do about this?

    Since most of the enforcement now days is all about the revenue, "catching up" isn't allowed much any more.



    $910 and a criminal record???????????? good lord those law makers in that state must be really bored. That is just way over board. I don't think I would ever go back to Maine!

    I would be consulting a transportation lawyer TODAY.

    Google search Jim Klepper.

    Seems like a good reason to lose your toll receipts.

    And then you'll be in violation of their laws concerning "supporting documents"

    Not necessarily true.

    Many of the toll workers have been getting lax about even giving receipts. Occasionally, I have not been given a receipt so it is possible it happened again.

    Just doesn't make sense to me how I can get a criminal record but they let me go on my way when they were done checking everything else over on the truck. If I would have done something to warrent a record I would think I would have had to have been arrested or at least shut down?

    I sent the info as private. I did not want the company posted on here. Thanks for doing it anyway.

    We are all owner operators.
