Got violation for not putting the taxi time on duty??????????/

Today in the wonderful (not) state of Oregon I got violation for not putting on duty the time that I was in taxi cab trying to get to work, how stupid and I mean stupid is that? Apparently its in Section 395.8(e) i didn't find anything on that. I know when you are in a truck bobtailing that is off duty how the hell is it that you have to put yourself on duty when you are in a taxi not driving just riding????????you don't even have to put yourself on duty when you are in the back of truck just riding. Any advice or help what should I do about this non sense. They control our life, with this crap.

 

I was recovering the truck, a driver was at the shipper and I came in and we switched.

 

I went to weight station that was opened and she asked for my logs and that happened.

 

No I was off duty for 8 previous days, and today was the first day of working. Just like you driving your personal car to start your new trip would you put that on duty? for some people it takes 3-5 hours to get to their yard, if they put that on duty now they can only drive 4-5 hours because they have to do pti and log books.........that just doesn't make any sense at all..
