Logbook ticket

34 hours off duty, not 36.

 

Oops... typo

 

By looking at these numbers it looks like HOS violations are actually very common.

36 if you're a Canadian,or up that way.
It's nice you're just about out of hours and cross the border,BAM!
You pick up a few.

As for log book violations they're one of the worse violations to get.
They will haunt you when switching companies.
Always do your recap,keeps the dotsters off your back!

 

5 minutes of watching a youtube video and you know how to fill out a log. People really over think it.

 

I try to keep at least one of mine up to date at all times

 

You're company will get csa points which they wont be happy about, and it will show up on you're p.s.p, and it will stay on there for 3 years.

 

so your company didn't properly train you in logs huh?Rather then partially blame them you should have ask them to train you.Did you ask them after this warning to train you?

 

Car hauler. Scary. Sticks with wheels.

 

This is one of the advantages of e-logs experience. You get to know exactly whats legal or not, because it will let you know each and every violation. When I went to paper logs at another company, I got inspected a few times without even a problem. A lot of the other guys werent really sure, they guessed a lot. Got a lot of violations because of it.

I see why people like paper logs, but they actually need to know exactly how to do them if they want to have the advantages. Its not an advantage if you cant pass inspection because you arent sure what to do.
