Logging

Dang, I get left out of everything!

 

Or put another another way who decides which law to violate to obey the law?

 

Exactly right, sometimes you have to break 1 or 2 other laws to be in compliance with some other law in trucking.

 

I mentioned many times, this year's 2018 June Safety Blitz is going to focus on Hour of Service Compliance.
Below is a copy paste job from Overdrive Magazine and a link to some new CSA SMS with new ELD violations and severity weights-- just in time for June....

One of the biggest ones I saw right off the bat was 395.8G which is Failure to provide supporting documents in the driver's possession upon request. It falls under False Log and carries a 7 in the weight severity.

Most of the Form and Manner stuff carries only a 1 in weight severity.

But anyone can read about it here-- and download the Excel spreadsheet right from the article itself.

Do us all a favor and apprise Mr Moose1958 of my post here because he will not see it as I am on his Ignore list.

 

(g)Graph grid. The following graph grid must be incorporated into a motor carrier recordkeeping system which must also contain the information required in paragraph (d) of this section.

(If a non-sleeper berth operation, sleeper berth need not be shown on the grid.)

This also in there.h.2

 

Sure, if the vehicle does not have a sleeper berth, you could have a graph grid made up that does not have the Line 2. In the ELD marketplace, I doubt there is an option for that though.

Unless, are you trying to say if you made up a graph grid devoid of Line 2, then you would not have to log Line 2 even though your truck has a sleeper berth?

 

Hey, what about THIS log? I know 3 drivers that used them up till the new elog mandate. I went for a long time running where a noon to noon log would have served me better. Safety said NO!

 

I am saying a single driver is not a sleeper birth operation. Just because it's there [sleeper] does not mean you have to use it. EG a sleeper birth operation is a sleeper birth operation. Any other interpretation is just conjecture on your part.
