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

Logging Off Duty while your body is in the sleeper is also a log falsification. Say someone rips your hood off while you were asleep and the cops showed up and see your logged Off Duty but you made the mistake of saying you were asleep in your bunk. So the other guy's insurance has to buy you a new $5000 hood but your company has to pay a $11,000 fine because you logged wrong. All of a sudden it becomes a big deal unless you want to spot the 11 grand to your company but there are still CSA points to consider.


Another scenario is say if you were involved in a wreck where someone died. The lawyers will examine your logs pretty close looking for any falsification. This is why companies are pushing for cameras inside trucks to watch the driver 24/7. Log sleeper, they want to see you back there back at the homebase on their screens. Log Off Duty and the dispatcher sees you in the sleeper with the camera, boom you're on a 3 day suspension.
Time for some drivers to start acting professional and taking their craft seriously.

 

Please point out where I called you a liar? You are the one who started the "Whatever" business so I guess you can dish it out but not take it. You might want to head back to DesMoines to learn to properly log what you are doing and some people skills. I might be an #######, but at least I know how to log what I am doing.

 

Loaded trailer and in the shop, I am sent to a hotel. There is no way that I am going to log that I am in the sleeper, able/required to monitor the clients merchandise!

Analogous to this thread:

How long for a roomful of truck drivers to change light bulb?

Answer: It'll never happen. They'll just piss, moan and argue about it.

Light bulb? Remains unchanged.


//Read this somewhere, not original with me. Just look at this thread...

 

Oh boy. I've heard it all now. Thanks for the laugh

 

Once again: it is not a violation before you sign/approve the logs. You can always go back and edit the logs before you sign/approve them.

 

Kinda funny if I wanted to know a logging question I would ask someone who knows not my logs department, lol. Obviously sleeper berth means just that, you are in the sleeper. A hotel is not a sleeper. It also matters not one bit in any real way, sleeper or off duty they both count as a break.
