PHEW! Are we all positively sure about this?

 

Pretty much. The dates and times were announced a long time ago.

 

I never know how good these government cats are at catching people. Does anyone know just how astute they are at catching a clever driver with a fibbing log?

 

A scalehouse is not a big deal. An investigation of a 30 day period or more with all supporting documents is pretty tough to smooth over if you do 4000 miles a week.

I think it comes down to resources, not what's possible for them to do.

 

That just depends on the situation. Are we talking about a Federal DOT Audit, or a road side/scale house random inspection? If it's a Fed audit, they'll go over all your paperwork with a fine tooth comb. You're allowed a small amount of missing logs, but I don't have a clue what the percentage is.

If you were involved in a fatality accident, every DOT/FMCSA official and lawyer imaginable will scrutinize and scrutinize and scrutinize your paperwork, up to and including your cell phone records. When they're done with that, they'll get a finer toothed comb and do it again.

 

Aaaahh! So what do you intend on doing Mr. 20,000 miles a week

 

Throwing myself on the mercy of the court, I think!

I'll probably freak out and light my truck on fire, say my very good and perfectly legal logs were in there.

 

He needs to hire his twin brother.

 

Start saving for the fine.

 

I'm afraid that's quite a possibility.

I gotta figure out which is cheaper... getting busted or believing I only needed to retain 8 days worth of logs.
