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

It has been observed that you can't mark sleeper if you are out of the truck, but you can mark off duty while in the sleeper. I know guys that never do a split and always mark sleeper and off duty on the off duty line.


Anything but the drive line can be edited on E-logs, from what I have been told. The big difference is in who is allowed to edit, and apparently some drivers on some systems can edit the other 3 duty lines at will until they have been approved, and others can't.

I don't think the op has done anything that can't be fixed later, and if he had gone to off duty instead of sleeper, there would be nothing to fix. Certainly no violation as of yet.

 

I've always had to remind someone I was available. and not getting enough miles except for the unforeseen, like the year we had to peddle live chickens all over because of a management issue at the plant. Even before, at another company, it wasn't usually an issue of running out of hours, but you marked them all just because it gave you another 70.

I really miss late 2004 and the first 9 months of 2005 when you could split effectively, and didn't need 8 in the sleeper to extend the 14. Always compliant and never as tired as taking off with these rules and not having exhaustively planned the trip.

I never ran under the 8 in 15 rules.
