Are you attacked for 34hour restarts?

not TRUE... i have taken and prefer to reset my clock whenever i have the opportunity to do so.

 

Talking about the school in Sun Prairie? They didn't tell my hubby that, if that is the one you are talking about.

He regulary did 34 hour resets, and never caught flak from his company or any LEO's that checked his log book.

A good friend of ours is a former instructor from there, and he never told guys that either.

I went to school there under the old HOS rules, so that wouldn't have even come up.

 

Jerry . . . I remember him. He was my road instructor back in 1999, and my hubby's road instructor back in 2007. He was a good road instructor. He's a tough one, but that comes from having been an army drill instructor.

California is a PITA state for just about anything, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was them.

I still pop out to the school once in awhile, since Red and my dad go way, way back.

 

I still don't get it. Now, realize that all I know is the old rulebook, but since when did resting up and resetting your clock present a problem to anyone but the guy who wants to be driving or the company who wants him driving (illegally)?
Am I missing something here?

 

Nope........ not missing nothin.
I have never been to driving school, but have seen time after time, instructors brainwash new drivers into thinking they (the instructors) are gods gift to trucking, when in fact, the reason they are there is they couldnt get a job anywhere else.

I Hate Truck Driving Schools

 

when i went to school in 94 i heard all kinda things then my first real driving job the guy told me to forget everything i learned in school it was just to get the cdls and he trained me over lol
IT worked well for me anyway but back to the point i use it 1-2 times a week........ cough cough.... and never had anything said to me about it

 

Hello and yes I finally made it home but I never knew we had to log our restroom breaks....but with DOT sitting in the rest area I guess I will log my bathroom breaks if I am in there more than 15 min. but yet it still feels a little weird and I wonder why I never knew this? Yes my truck is in the shop til Monday and I sure hope all hgoes well as I am supposed to leave out Monday PM...anyway will cll you later today....you behave yourself!

 

It took you 2 years to find out that "All duty staus changes" mean ALL changes in duty status?

Stops under 15 minutes should be flagged, although I haven't met a driver yet that does it. Myself included. LOL

 

Well, no but I learn different things daily and logging my rest area breaks is a new one to me...I never do that but the DOT man didnt set a time but I know it has to be over 15 minutes......but from now on I will log my rest area breaks cause I do not want any violations on me.....including taking a pee break.....so thanks for all the answers on my this subject...
