    More power to the ones that wanna be that legal,but I highly doubt the DOT is going to get that technical.

    if that's the case, just about 99% of drivers have/are falsifying their logbook, lol.

    When it comes to the basic logging yes im legal.Have no violations to prove that.But logging to change a lite bulb,change linen that sort of thing nope,lol.It's not like the DOT is right there watching every move you make.Their main concern is not driving over your legal hrs.
