How to move truck during 34 reset (Qualcomm)

Anybody need some fertilizer ? Here's some bull #### .

 

Here's a new and radical idea . Its called trip planning . Plan so you have time to move from the customer to a truck stop or other place you won't be hassled when you shut down either for a 10 or 34 reset .

And if your stuck at a grocery dc or similar cesspool as your clock and your trip plan goes up in smoke adjust your trip plan and drive to where you planned anyway . Before your QC switches off the drive line write "safe haven" in the comments when you get there .

If an office REMF challenges your log "violation " remind it the customer doesn't allow sleepovers on their property, that you operated within Federal regulations and they should drive their own ####ing truck .

 

First Why would you take a 34 at Walmart or Costco?

You cant move without them knowing it work off the odometer & shows GPS of each stop so call but if you haven't approve your log you can adjust a few of you "On-Duty-Not-Driving" to Off-Duty" that give you back some time on your 70 don't do too much in a 24 period because if you get a DOT stop it might go bad for you.
Go to the Hours Of Service then Hit the "Approve" Tab Look for The less noticeable ones Highlight it the Hit "Edit" in the lower right corner be careful not to hit Approve

 

Yes you can. And if you get audited it will show that you went off duty at one location and came back on duty at another. It will also show that the odometer in the QC doesn't match the truck odometer. You will also get caught if you pull into a weigh station and they check your logs.

If you want to you can use the officer email function on your QC to email yourself a copy of what an officer would get. It's enlightening.

 

Then your dispatcher will get a prompt to charge that time to someone. Unless you've been out of the truck they'll charge it to you. If that puts you in violation you'll get a call from Safety and you'll get to explain both the HOS violation and tampering with the QC. How many trucks are running QC's nowadays? Do you really think you can come up with a trick they haven't seen?

 

Go to the officer email screen on the QC and email the report to yourself, then study it closely. I'll bet those little time adjustments show up on that report. Remember you QC logs don't go directly to your company. They go to Qualcomm first and it is Qualcomm that emails reports to the police.

 

Of all the ways to beat the system, the best is...

Don't even try.
Just stay legal and plan your trips correctly.

Heck, if I am at a shipper/receiver so long that my time is about to expire - and I know they won't let me take my break there - I leave and go someplace that will.
The load can be rescheduled for all I care, and they can pay detention pay for the time I waited.

And once I start my 10, it will NOT be interrupted for me to pull in or out while off duty.

 

Moosetek13 I did my last six month deployment on the Constellation. We left Hawaii on the way to San Deigo for last leg of the cruise. Tigers were on board. Then 911 happened. I responded on this thread since other one got locked.

 

The rules are made to prevent gross violations.
Being stuck at receiver,shipper,and driving 30 minutes to truckstop,may result in a violation,but I highly doubt youd receive a ticket,unless they find other gross violations,or an attitude problem.

 

The Connie is a great ship!
My time there was many years ago, in the 80's.

After flunking out of boot because of my knees (after scoring 97 and on my way to Advanced Electronics) it was a real thrill to live the life a bit.

Boot was a hoot in some ways. I snagged an assistant squad leader position, which gave me all the perks of admin with none of the drawbacks.
