Logbook ticket

Log violations have no affect on your cdl/mvr

 

Accidents and moving violations are what affect a driver in future jobs. DOT violations and Scale tickets go on your record and cost you money, some companies (lol) may use this in hiring decesions in future.

 

You re lucky you did not get put OOS for not having or maintaining previous 7 day logs too

 

I've had log book violations, is it common to get a Dollar ticket with it. I have never been given a money ticket with any log book or other csa violation. Curious.

 

It just depends on the mood of the officer and a few factors. Examples, how far were you behind on logbook since last change of duty status? Does tolls, fuel, etc. match your logs? I ve had a DOT Officer call to a Pilot before to verify the time stamp on a CAT scale ticket before

 

If I had a dollar for every log book volition I've received ... I would be a dollar richer.

 

What if the company uses E-logs. How does the cop or DOT check then? Just scroll through the screen? or is it wise to use a log book along with the E-log?

They taught us log books at our CDL school, I just need to go over again the sheet that keeps track of hours.

 

I have had my logs checked twice, both times the officer actually walked out on the scales and I had to fax my logs from the QC right there on the spot. then I pulled around parked and went inside. He read the faxes and sent me on my way. Really easy and painless actually.

 

I would go to court. That fine is way too high. Most judges are pretty understanding and a trucker with $1,000 in is wallet is unheard of. I'm guessing he will knock it down to a parking ticket, not reported and $100 fine instead
