How many books do you use

:smt082

 

One log book with tear out numberless pages. Makes it convenient to do some "editing".

 

you can do that? oh #### all these good things im just finding out

 

I've done it for at leased 10 years.

 

I "tweak" but I try to run as compliant as possible. One log book only. I have split the sleeper on a number of occasions. Works just fine for me.

 

One log book is all that is needed
If you run 2 log books and you end up in an accident and can't produce the log books yourself, OMG the trouble you will definately be in

Good luck to those running more than one! I would think one is hard enough to make perfect for me (the log auditor) l.o.l.

 

That is the attitude these training companies have; if you train a new driver you can run both log books and the trainee can tarp your loads. Also, when the loading time is four or five hours just log it 15 minutes and the rest sleeper berth. Then you can run 18 hours a day and make $20 dollars more then me. With that $20 dollars you can eat the buffet at the Flying J. But myself my life and sleep is worth more then $20 bucks; log it as it happens. The suits in the office hate that.

 

Those are the two big things that need to match your logs. So, you get your 300 gallons of fuel and you can make your comic book say whatever you need it to until you cross a scale. Coming up on your first scale for the day, then you just edit that logbook backwards to make your start time as close to the current time as the the average speed limits you've driven allow. Do this everyday and you could add ten hours a week easy. And that's just one "little fix"

If the FMCSA really wanted us to follow the rules they'd take away the honor system and put Werner style GPS devices in every truck. Instead, the government is encouraging Chicago School of Law Economics wherein if it is more profitable to disobey the law and pay a fine once in a while, you should do it. Keeps all those rich Republicans making their stock dividends!

 

Every truck that's equipped with a Qualcomm is basically already set up like Werner is, to an extent. Between the QC and the truck computer, they can tell every time you pass gas in the seat. Ya'll can do what you wanna do, but personally I have plenty of fun with just 1 comic book.
