URGENT question about the DOT HOS

Question 5: How may a driver utilize the adverse driving conditions exception or the emergency conditions exception as found in §395.1(b), to preclude an hours of service violation?

Guidance:

An absolute prerequisite for any such claim must be that the trip involved is one which could normally and reasonably have been completed without a violation and that the unforeseen event occurred after the driver began the trip.

Drivers who are dispatched after the motor carrier has been notified or should have known of adverse driving conditions are not eligible for the two hours additional driving time provided for under §395.1(b), adverse driving conditions. The term “in any emergency” shall not be construed as encompassing such situations as a driver’s desire to get home, shippers’ demands, market declines, shortage of drivers, or mechanical failures.

 

My goodness you mean to say that elogs are cheating my my my

 

I think that is a awesome post. Stories are made into Legends from that kind of situation.

I apologize if I came off difficult, frankly I would have gone through Reno and kept going myself in your shoes. Im not inclined to want to fight Donner too often. It's a gnarly mountain hill either way.

 

Gotta love them elogs
Heck mine showed me driving over 18 million miles in 1day...you read that right.

 

...so, you’re now on a 34-year restart?

 

I wouldn't be able to do that even if my truck really did have a lifetime average of between 400-800 mph as indicated by my GPS (depending on the day).

 

As soon as I get over being 30 hours over my daily limit.wish I could figure out how to add pix lol
