How do you log breakdown time?

I get it, but you guys with the answers have 9 years experience or more and are probably in with a good company and can afford a few points on your CSA score.
For me, I have to "log everything 100% correctly" to stay out of trouble and leep frog my way out of these starter company's.
So the things I can control I will, and the ones that pop up and bite me in the ARRSS I'll have to go with.

Please bear in mind I haven't sat in your seat/shoes yet so this may be my anxiety running away a little.

 

I'll log it off duty because the simple fact you will go eat, take a shower or other personal time stuff while your truck is being worked on. You have to manage your time carefully or you'll have none left to make money.

Now if you stood there and watched the mechanic that would be a different story but you are not suppose to be in the garage.


The big question is how do you get the truck out of the garage?

 

By law while waiting for brk down you're suppose to log that on line 4.Once all repairs are made,the mechanic is suppose to sign your log.Thats if you're on the side of the road.At a trk stop I log line 1 because im not going to stay there till the shop is done.

 

But your on duty counts against your 70/8 so say on Monday you drive 8 hours take a 30min brake drive 2 more hours and brake down if you never go off duty by Thursday you would be over your 70 and can't drive again until a restart is made even though you only have 10hours of drive time!

 

What about parked along the side of the road,do you log off or on duty while wating for brkdown?

 

I log 100% legal. Then I edit 100% practical. But as a super trucker who does his pretrips and post trips, I never break down. And girls my wife just doesn't understand me.

 

If your behind the wheel or securing a load your on duty everything else your off duty!!

 

Great advice...

 

Off duty but most of my repairs are done while on home time.
