logging question

if they believe that there is some thing wrong yes the can look on your QC I would not turn in logs with violations it is up to you but I would make my log look go and legal

 

I am not going to tell you what to do just go with you gut I don't want to get in trouble for telling you what to do

 

Be Creative...................

 

They can definitely track it on the Qualcomm . I've gotten notices asking me to explain slight discrepancies in my logs months ago . You should have sent a message on your Qualcomm asking how to handle the situation and done what the response said . I have been given violation notices for improperly splitting sleeper (I thought I did it right . Every other driver I talked to said everybody that splits the sleeper gets a violation ) but there was no penalty .The Federal penalties for exceeding available hours are far less than log book falsification . Both the driver and management could face felony charges if the driver was forced or allowed to falsify logs .
How much were you over the 14 ? If it was me I'd log it as it was run , showing going over , explain why , and hope for the best .
I'm not familiar with your company though . Many companies are well aware drivers fudge logs and some expect and encourage it . The Qualcomm thing complicates it . There's a reason it's there .

 

RickG is correct. Log it as it happened.

You can TRY using 395.1(b), but given that NYC is known to have gridlock on a rather consistent basis, I doubt it would fly

be sure you remember to shorten the next day by the amount you went over, of course

 

If you let them know you won't falsify your logs it may make them more careful with your scheduling . Depends on the company but some will knowingly ask the driver to do the impossible knowing the driver will somehow make it look possible .
