Lieing on logs

If you don't want any hassles with the law... Then walk away. There are plenty of other things the law can & will hassle you about. Sure, your log book may be sqeaky clean driver... But what about these brakes that are out of adjustment? You are now out of service!

Plus there are those law men that have a vendetta against trucks... They will go out of their way to shut you down. Even if it means they sabatoge your truck while he is performing a level 1 on your butt.

 

It's not lying, it's creative fiction!

 

yes. werner was the first that i know of, then i believe a few others are matching logs to the qualcomm. i think UPS has an electronic recording device.

 

LMFAO.................

 

If your logs are squeaky clean, then you work for a 3000+ truck company. You win if you say so.

God forbid you ever achieve your goal and get out on your own. Best of luck brother.

 

I'll admit that my logs got "creative" in the past. Depends on who you work for, and the kind of driver you want to be. I've done it, and got lucky. I didn't hurt, or worse KILL anybody. "Creative" logging will not only get you into trouble, it makes you a danger to everybody on the road. You wind up driving when you should be sleeping, and no load is worth anybody's life. As far as paperless logs go, Werner has them, Wal*Mart's private fleet has them, I think Swift and U.S Express has them but don't quote me on that, and I heard Prime is testing them. Stay safe, stay legal, and log it as you do it.

 

There's a LOT of room between 11 hours and dangerous. I don't know anyone who sleeps 13 hours a day who's older than 15.

 

Truck driving is classified by the Department of Labor as as unskilled labor. So dont get caught up in that "Professional Driver" garbage.

 

I believe it's "semi-skilled" (ha ha Semi)

Anyway either you're an amateur and not getting paid for it, or it's your profession.
