Can you cheat an eLog?

Adverse conditions means unexpected delays due to very nasty traffic accidents, road conditions being bad from an unexpected weather situation, etc, not lack of parking. Planning your trip and route means that you need to find all parking options, even if it means a rest area. If you've been driving for 10 years, why does it say 1 year in your stats at the top of your post? Even my dad, who has driven for 30 years understands that lack of parking does not qualify as 'adverse conditions'.

 

Because I haven't been triving tractor trailers for 10 years (it says trucker, not driver). I drove various CMV's ranging from box trucks, city buses, day cabs, etc.

And I'm referring to customers that are in BFE, as in there isn't a place to park for 300+ miles. Any other case and I would agree with what the rest of you guys are saying, but you're not comprehending my scenario.

From what you are all saying; the federal government basically wasted their time in passing 395.1 (B) into law, because you'll get violated no matter what the scenario is. This isn't true. I'm trying to explain one of the only times that it is ok to use the extension. If there aren't any parking areas, the feds don't want you to illegally park on the street and create a safety hazard for yourself and other motorists. Running out of drive hours does not count as a roadside emergency.

 

I see the point of my post went over your head.

 

I challenge you to show me an actual receiver in the lower 48 with NO truckstop within 300 miles... In ANY direction.

 

I might add, there hasn't been a single person to agree with your interpretation of the regs...

 

I used to deliver mail parcels for a living, in a box truck, under federal HOS. No truck stops/parking all day long. Not every driving job keps you on a interstate all shift.

 

Am I supposed to care? I care about my logbook, which after 10 years of driving CMV's is at Level 0, meaning no violations. I don't care if you don't agree with what I say. I'm simply stating one of a few scenarios where it is acceptable to use the extension. It's fact, not opinion like everyone else in this thread is posting.

So I ask you this;

Did the federal government waste their time passing 395.1 (B) into law? Because according to you, you will get violated when you go over your 14/11/70 no matter what the scenario is.

 

Big deal.

I have driven for over 12 years and never had a dot log violation either.

 

I see the point of that went well over your head.

 

Actually it zoomed by you quite well.
