Level 1. OOS

You’ll have to go to court and prove that you were driving team. Preferably you’ll want the driver to be in court with you. You’ll need to bring all documents proving that the driver works for you.

 

Winnah.

Get the other driver involved subponea etc and the company records on hard copy paper that the court can understand.

Once proved you two were teamed when sign off violation claimed by DOT man the court will toss it.

You might have pointed to a small stencil on side of sleeper "Team operation, check sleeper" which is common for those.

 

How did the inspector see the sign off from 3 weeks prior?
Did the eld give you some sort of flagged violation?
Were there unassigned miles?
Road side inspection data should only show the current day and previous seven days?

 

Officer should have only been able to see the previous 7 days... Anything further back requires an audit, and that can only go back 6 months.

 

Which state did you get inspected at?

 

Not sure where you signed off but if it wasn’t legit with another driver I would think there should be a ton of unassigned miles?
If the mileage on the Eld is correct and matches the ECM of the truck and there is no unassigned mileage then someone else was driving and were assigned those miles.
The Eld should prove everything.
Only other way for the mileage to match is if the truck was towed home.
Now if the mileage of truck and eld don’t match someone unplugged something?
