    Just "earned" 10 hours out of service because of false log book. How badly is it gonna hurt my personal record and company rating? Can I get fired or have problems with employment in the future?

    They will take your first born, have sex with your dog, take away your voting rights, and make you eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with out having any icy cold milk.


    that being said, check out the list of infractions and the points you could get here.

    As far as getting fired? I really cannot say, each company will deal with this their own way. Problems with future employment? Maybe yes, maybe no. I cannot really say.

    90% of former "KAMAZ" drivers here had log book violation and still running. no big deal

    I thought KAMA3 was a person, not a place/company?

    One or two I've worked for would say with a *wink* you need to get with another driver and learn logging skills.

    One place I worked at it wasn't uncommon to see a driver come in from week trip and do all the logs for that trip in the drivers lounge.
