Exception???? log book entry

What advantage? There is no advantage to the 395.13 rule. All it allows you to do is give you a reasonable amount of time to catch up your log if you're that far behind (today and the previous day assuming the rest of them were completed). You can still receive a citation (ticket) for being that far behind because the rules require you to be current to the last change of duty status pursuant to 395.8(f). You're just not placed out of service for being behind that far. After all, just look at the title of this rule........"Drivers Declared Out Of Service". The title of any rule gives you a clue as to what the rule is about.

From a retired federal DOT official

 

You are a retired federal DOT? If so I have a question for you. Since it is illegal to carry a firearm in a cmv what type of weapon is acceptable to carry for self defense?

 

Check the laws of every state in the U.S. & when you see you may have a "weapon" let me know.

 

I think it comes to the fact that most companies have policies that prohibit it.

You live in a state that has ticketed CMV for having loaded firearms in the truck.

 

Better get real good with that tire thumper driver..about all you will find to be legal..besides your truck of course!

 

I am a flat bedder. I have a small nail puller, sort of like a crow bar only it is about a foot long. Solid steel hexagon shaped (bought at lowes) Has a hook on the end to pull nails. Great tire thumper if you use the skull crushing side. The other side would penetrate the skull and get blood and brain matter all over you... plus blow the tire your thumping... Multi- tasking tool...

 

This exception is not really a practiced item.

Drive into the scale and before you get on the scale, the officer comes out and asks for your log book. He then says cross the scale, park and bring in the registration and permits. Since he has the logbook, no way to bring current. If you were running without being current, you deserve the ticket.

Sorry, but I am always current.
