    Your software program may have flagged a violation on 10/7 for driving hours since that page is incomplete. It would have put him on driving at 12:30 and left him driving until midnight which is 11:30 driving and would be a violation. Try scanning and reviewing the completed log page and see if the log audit program has a different result.

    Also, why are you auditing a log page for today, they day isn't over yet?

    I would suggest getting those logs to an auditor and having them go through all of them for the driver, it looks like he needs some serious lessons on how to work the HOS.

    Why? Other then form and manner his logs are legal. Looks like a multi-stop run local in Ohio for a day and a half before heading out to California. I have had many trips that look like that while gathering up freight for a load

    He also needs to put the shipper/commodity or bol number at the bottom. he doesn't need to show the beginning and end of the load. Again it's a form and manner but those still hit your csa as a logbook violation.

    He does have the load number, bottom left side. That is what I used to deduce it was a multi stop pickup, same load number on 10/5, 10/6 and 10/7

    My guess is the computer was looking for where he went off duty. He drove until midnight, then the next log shows him off duty starting at midnight. No flag on either.

    Joplin MO Wake up = Fuel written down but no PTI indicated

    He likes to write into the grid, I don't think you can do that.

    One month to another. Although how he did it is somewhat ok, but I prefer to close out a month and start another.

    One final thing, he is not maintaining his 8 day recap, there should be a developing 8 days in a stack of hours worked each of the days you are showing in these logs.

    Average speed 63.3 for Austinburg OH from Medina OH, you sure have fast trucks in the teeth of Cleveland Traffic. Three possible routes to get there, two of which take almost 2 hours flat and incur more mileage.

    WRONG!!!! 271 to 90 wouldn't take you into the teeth of Cleveland traffic especially between 1930-2100 like he logged it... Should take just about the time he logged 1.5 hours.....

    Most drivers don't bother with the recap anymore, it isn't required to be completed and since the 34 hour restart many drivers wouldn't know how to run recap even if they did fill out the boxes.

    Why? There is nothing wrong, illegal (like you said) and any cop that got pissy over it I'd be calling his supervisor over...
    Not that I think a cop ever would.
