Driving on your days off

If you run for two companies and one runs electronic, you will have to have paperlogs for the others showing all time worked and of course you'll have to edit the electronic logs to show time worked for the electronic company

 

Just drive the combine. Forget the truck and you will be fine.

 

I think the Combine drives for you now using Satellite Steering to maintain a line on the farm field to within 6 inches.

 

Unless he's driving the combine for free... Its still on-duty time

 

Well, based on my previous employer running big trucks on private property the time clock was the only record of my hours worked during these truck auctions. It was very very rare we went off property onto public roads to gather up bobtails with specialized situations like the older air starts for example and we did not do logs then either.

 

Don't get into a wreck or have someone wreck into you.. there are people in prison right now for falsifying themselves into a vehicular manslaughter charge..

 

Sure. I hear you.

Ya know. Im actually glad in a guilty way that I don't have to do that anymore. Not so much the falsifying but today's laws are much more gotchas than back in my time where you can let things slide. I consider today's laws somewhat serious and am intimidated to be honest sometimes.

 

Prove it.
I have driven truck locally for 22 years, when I help my uncle or in-laws farm I drive the combine. They know I don't want to drive truck on my days off and they value the help so when I show up I get the combine. I seriously doubt dot can prove it.

 

Just do your thing on the weekend and don't worry about it.

 

The DOT won't have to.. the lawyers of the other party will handle all of the investigations and depositions..
