Log violations BECAUSE of my Mentor.

Velveta,

cheese.....goes go good with wine !!!

 

Don't do it. It won't do any good AND it will hurt you in the long run with the company. Trust me on that, he will turn around and say o that's not how it was yada yada yada and who do you think Swift will side with you the rookie or him the mentor?
Learn your lesson from this. Log it as it happens. You drive for a Big Brother company, they will KNOW where you are every time you pull the binders. You are in charge of your truck and how to run and log DO NOT shave your time, now that you have been hit once they will be watching you all the more.
Yes having to go do the stupid class is f'd up but be thankful you didnt get a more drastic punishment. Bite your tounge and don't turn to this yutz for anymore advice. I am guessing that you no longer run in his truck and therefore have your own ride. RUN IT LEGAL if you have a question about logging something call your logs department, if they ask why you didnt call your mentor tell them that the last time you took his advice you got dinged and leave it at that.

Be safe

 

Do your penance, log it legal from now on and forget it. Do you think you're the first student to be wacked because of your logs?
you won't be on this guy's truck anymore.
If asked directly about it, simply state, "I must have mis understood my trainer's guidance" and leave it at that.
No good can come from TRYING to drag him down and a lot of harm CAN come.

 

he will trust me on that!!! One thing I learned when I was at Celadon is to log it as it happens, you fudge on bunk time when you are at a shipper or whatever but never on your driving time....it's too easy for them to nail ya.
Keep your nose clean and you'll be fine, make sure your log book is neat too, if a bear or dot man wants to see your book and it looks like a mess he's gonna start looking harder. So try not to think about that yutz like you said he'll get his and they are probably waiting until they have him on plenty of stauff so they can can him and guess what no unemployment and bad marks on his dac. You got your truck man and YOU are the captain of that ship....dispatch may give you marching orders but it's up to you to get from point A to B safely, legally and on time. Don't let them push you around but don't fight them either....it's a fine line and it's hard to figure it out...there are no clear cut rules of engagement but the first thing is to drive legal....if they see that they will hesitate to try and get you to fudge to do a run......and believe me they will try they will try

 

In life we must accept the things we can not change, you got burned, was it his fault, sort of, your new, you dont know any better, you do now. This is how lifes lessons are taught.

Do what you have to do to get it behind you and get on with your life, something like this is not worth the hassle of trying to fight it, you have bigger fish to fry and money to make.

That is what you need to be concerned with.

You are on your own truck so he isint going to screw you any more.

I would say get out there put it in the left lane and get on with life, but cause you are in a newtered truck, get out there, put it in the right lane, and some time this week get on with life.

 

how do the ding you for logging at 60 i work for swift also and i always log at 63 and have never had a problem

 

i never average my times. if you average your times you will eventually get caught. there is no way you can run 63 miles an hour every day all day consistently with construction and other traffic on the road. eventually they should catch on if not they aren't doing their job as a company to make sure their drivers are running legally and correctly. turning a blind eye to a obvious log "fluff" isnt making you or anyone else a better driver. once you go to electronic logs and it auto records your drive time you'll be screwed.
