Boy Oregon don't mess around !

Ok i have a question. I just started paper logs.
When i arrive at the shipper or receiver is it necessary to put down 15 minutes on duty on the paper logs?

What if i was on duty for only 5 or 10 minutes? How do you show 5 or 10 minutes on duty when paper logs only have increments of 15 minutes?

How far back in the log book do they go?

Might end up going to oregon soon and dont want any errors.

 

Round to the nearest quarter hour.

1507 = 1500, 1508 = 1515 and so on.

I always logged 15 minutes line 4 at shippers and receivers.

 

That state is definitely one place I absolutely do not miss going through.
From the coops being open at 3am on Saturday to chain laws going up with a 1/4 inch of snow.

It's understandable they're just doing the job they are paid to do, however it still irks me.

 

They probably stalk you on TTR and know you as a dirty, no good outlaw.

 

Curious...how long did the inspection take? My understanding is they are supposed to take no longer then 30 minutes.

 

Log it as you do it.
Off Duty = Line 1.
Sleeper Berth = Line 2.
Driving = Line 3.
On-Duty/Not Driving = Line 4.

There is no specified duration you MUST spend on any line, other than the ACTUAL length of time it took to do whatever it was you were doing.

And if it takes less than 7 minutes, you're still supposed to flag the location AND write down how many minutes it took to do what you did. Simply flagging it without including the duration of time can still earn you a citation.

 

Be glad you passed.

I don't know what they do. And how they do it. I went from boise to seattle and down to san diego. I got pulled in at the first oregeon scale on the 5. My logs didn't match washington scales but they weren't that far off. He spent a good 30 minutes on me and passed me.

He also asked for my fuel receipts. Unfortunately, I turn them in with every trip pak in the mail.
