    I will never forget looking at a drivers recap and seeing him circle the violations?
    I asked him ..why?
    he said look,here at the top it says in the instructions for recap..."circle violations for easy identification"..

    [QUOTE="semi" retired;4414901]Hi j, I hear ya'. For the life of me, I can't believe paper logs are still acceptable. ( now you log this just how it happened. Oh, don't worry, I will) I would have fit right in at your company. I learned early on, they don't call them "comic books" for nothing. I'd even carry 2 log books and always get a hand written receipt for fuel and never say I took a tollway. I feel bad for the OP, as it was just a mistake on their part and heaven knows, I made plenty myself. Any day now, I expect a ruling from the "man" (or woman) banning paper logs.[/QUOTE]

    with fellow drivers like this, who needs enemies?

    Hi EZX, relax, that was 30 years ago. I would never do anything like that now. Like someone else said, with all the electronic gizmo's, like the blinking lights on the urinals, they probably know the last time you took a leak.

    Doctors have a procedure (or two now) for that. I know. Nothing can finer than to be in Carolina in the morning, writing your name in the snow!

    I have crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel probably a 250 times and have noticed that the receipts do not always reflect the time I paid the toll. I have seen the toll receipts off by as much as 25 minutes. I fuel my truck at the local WaWa here in Va. Beach and have noticed that the time on the print out is off some times.

    you are only required to have seven days prior in your log book. so it would be hard for the dot to go back more than seven days if it not in your book. b safe

    Think you wouldn't get caught or what?Running illegal is a thing of the past If your company is notorious for false logs then doubt you'll lose your job,doubt you'll even get a talken to.If you can't make money running legal then you or your company is doing something wrong.
     
    G.Anthony and "semi" retired Thank this.

    Fueling must be logged as "on duty not driving".
