70 hr. violation

Not true at all. Once you get time back you are legal. You will not be placed oos for 34 hours.

If you were placed oos DOT will let you know. But there is absolutely no law saying it's an automatic 34 hour restart. That's hogwash.

 

DOT has the authority to arrest people?

 

Quoting from CVSA North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria handbook. http://www.cvsa.org/home.php

There is NO criteria that demands a full 34-hour reset declaration putting a driver OOS.

 

My post was edited a while back.

 

Mine doesn't need to be. You got your information from someone none of us knows. Mine comes from the CVSA.

 

I'm sure the US Marshals office would put a stop to it.

That's funny because the scale house in Colorado will let you drop your trailer and bobtail to the truck stop. Don't ask me how I know this

 

Dinomite How do you know this? I'm sorry the onary side had me do it! You don't have to answer me just thought I would ask! Thanks.

 

What the heck does this have to do with anything here? Nobody is questioning that DOT can place you out of service.
