Do you care about the HOS?

You can't hide miles.

 

Every time stamp needs to match & that is especially true for states like Oregon that put your plate in their system every time you cross an open scale and Washington which now has license plate scanners at many scales which read you every time you drive by.
I'm glad I don't have many years of this left.

 

Yes. There are states that track you. If you don't know when and where, then you better use a eobr.

 

I don't haul logs. SO.... I don't worry about log books....?

 

I live in Oregon and I warn you now, these fools are not to be played with. Or and Wa are the two worst states to drive a semi truck in. I swear they would rather just not have any semi trucks in these states...

 

We had an accident here a decade ago or so, the driver killed two people sitting at a light ran right into them at 40 mph. The driver was hurt and the cops thought something was up so they sealed the sleeper when it was towed to the towing yard and got a warrant to search it, found evidence of false logs. The lawyers for the family of the victims found this out and sued the driver, his company (LLC) and his insurance company. The family walked away with a lot of money and the driver lost everything.

 

So this dot cop is cruising the truckstop parking lot..backs up and stops. Suddenly the driver sitting in the seat tries to hide the 4 log books scattered on the dash..to late busted !

 

I run outlaw. Just think if everyone followed the law there would be no need for DOT, weigh stations, police, courts, prisons, and churches. Therefore, you should break the law so these people can have jobs. Without law breakers you would put 32% of Americans out of work.

 

The days of running outlaw are becoming far and few between. I like a few others use to always use multiple logs to keep the hammer down and Multiple Licenses. It was a way of life and the only real way to make money. We were the Left Lane Runners and sometimes a group of us would get those speeds up to lets just say in todays world now I would be at the Bar Motel.. Was not uncommon for us to run and own the highways late at nite. Now big brother has stepped in and mandated this and that and the Big companies like swift and werner and usless xpress all sided with the ATA (Anti Trucking Association) on putting elogs and other crap to make more profit while the driver still is barely making the same amount of money as in the 90's. Hos to us back then ment getting it there and turn and burn another one back. 62 mph trucks, super coops, elogs, and a whole bunch of people who honestly should not even be behind the wheel of a Tonka Truck are now the Norm.
