Max time you spend in sleeper birth?

"drops mic", from a random post in 2014? LOL!

With the seriousness of your claim here, you'd think there would be hundreds of those kinds of posts here.

There aren't, because it doesn't happen that way...

 

Also one more thing on this logging issue. Unless something else comes up that needs to be commented on I am finished with this silliness. You have loss any respect I might have for you with the foolish and stupid stuff you have posted. Until you post a letter on FMCSA letterhead with a name on it that can be verified as legit with the FMCSA position backing your silly interpretation of the FMCSA rule I will not take anything else you post serious and in all likely hood place you in my ever growing ignore list.

 

Well, there was your first mistake. Taking anything, posted by anybody, on this site, as serious.

 

Here's another fun little twist, if we are going to go with the idea that if you were in a sleeper you must log Sleeper Berth vs off-duty, because that's word for word what the regulation says, you will need to get a hotel or be at home for a 34-hour restart to be legal. After all it does say 34 consecutive hours off duty, no mention of it Sleeper Berth.

 

This is a cut/paste from the fmcsa itself. You can download the pdf yourself and go to page 14 and read it to confirm it. It just says what i have been saying all along, logs to be filled out true and correct, updated to the last change of duty status (whether offduty or sleeper is still a change of duty, not doing so is not true and not correct) plus it says authorized inspectors may check your logs at any time, not just when you are in operation.

Everything you write on the log must be true and correct. You must make all of your own entries (unless something has been preprinted on the log). You must fill out an original and one copy of your log. You must account for every day on your log, even days off, unless you are covered by a logbook exception on any of the days. The log must cover all 24 hours of every day. (Each 24-hour page of your logbook does not have to have a grid starting at midnight; there are provisions for your employer to designate a different starting time for each 24-hour period.) Authorized government inspectors may check your logs at any time. You must have a log for each day of the last 8 days that you were required to log (you might have been under an exception on some of those days). The current day’s log must be current to your last change of duty status. Inspectors check your logs to see if you have violated the hours-of-service regulations. Violations of the hours-of-service regulations can result in being fined and/or placed out of service. This regulation is found in Section 395.8.

 

I guess we can't do resets anymore.

 

i have gotten out of many log book violations just by recognizing what they are fishing for. never give them any fuel. make them prove that you did not do it as its logged.

as far as running a some what regular sleep scheduled and still burning up your log by the end of the week. yes its possible but its going to completely depend on your loads. i do it quite often

i have not yet ever run on a e-log might be interesting figuring out how to make it work on e-logs

 

That reality might come to fruition if congress fails to add the 34 restart provision to the spending bill.

 

Actually there are maybe a dozen forum members I take very serious when they post. Two of them are mods in here. After you read a few posts you start to see they know their stuff. I am not going to use names but I exchange PMs and emails with many of them. But this silly stuff while funny is getting stupid, enough is enough.

 

If you're running paper logs legally, then e-logs are no big deal ... they each have their quirks that you can exploit ... now if you're running multiple books, then e-logs are going to be a whole new game to you.
