been broke down all weekend, should i take my 34hr?

yes, I am saying I know what the DOT regs say, and how to follow them, as it is MY job to KNOW...

DOT does NOT audit companies every year, they don't even audit them once a decade....they only audit a company if there has been a reason given to via a major accident... or past known bad acts.

Why don't you spend the weekend reading and understanding the dot rules for doing your job? You came here asking the question, but refuse the knowledge of the community.

Are you on elogs?If so I thought elogs automatically gives you a fresh 70 after 34 hrs off duty/sleeperbirth combined.

 

not enough information was given about the 34 hr reset... has it been 168 hours since your last reset started? if not, you are not eligible...

 

I just left the House.
Got home Fri night delivered a load Monday.

Went back home. Until Wed.

On Monday I accepted my logs without rejecting my reset.

When I left Wed I decided I would have been better of not accepting my first reset.

So called Safety/Logs, and she was able to fix it for me.

 

Like I mentioned, if you show a reset starting 7pm Friday then you can start one as early as 7pm this coming friday. That would let you complete one and be ready to roll Sunday at 05:00.

When you say the previous week you started a reset Monday I assume you mean 11 days before you ended up in the shop.

 

internal audit, is to comply with company rules, she may be doing it wrong the whole 20 years....

It is your responsibility to learn the laws that govern your work...
