As I was directed by the company owner to bring in the tractor so it could be serviced at the shop on my 34-hour break I found myself sitting for over 24 hours without having the tractor looked at in the morning I had to use the facilities and the garage was closed and there was no toilet available so I fired the truck up and went to the nearest truck stop
This took me off of my 34-hour reset of course this put me on duty so I could do my duty a large trucker size Duty although I am only a driver we all have to start somewhere
When the owner discovered that I was not going to be obtaining a full clock because I did not fulfill the 34-hour break he got upset and suggested that I had logged on with somebody else's name
What kind of repercussions would a driver face had there been some sort of accident or in best case scenario simply been pulled over by the authorities
ELD log on as different driver?

If you were BT and you PC to truck stop it won't take you off your 34 reset. If you don't have the capability for personal conveyance then maybe take it up with the boss.

Our E log does not support the personal conveyance feature as if it is technically not an Eld

My concern doesn't have to do with personal conveyance meaning if I'm put in a position where I need to take a dump at the expense of a 34 hour break because of a lack of professionalism on the part of another party I'm going to choose taking a dump and not getting the 34-hour break
The question is what would happen if I had log on as another user and got busted for it as directed by the owner of the company -
Find a better company.DTP and CrappieJunkie Thank this. -
You would be better off to sign out completely, then using another name, ask if the shop has one.

Doing it his way is runnng 2 different logs....wrong. Get caught or have an accident, you’d be hung from the highest tree. I’d throw your owner under the bus so fast it would make his head spin. Find another job. These companies are hiring left and right. You don’t need to work for anyone that can’t provide you with a way to drop a deuce.

of course I would have just done my business near the locked door, teaches them quickly.
