New HOS rules?

Why not talk about all the LIARS on E-BABYSITTER..?...They are worse than ''paper log'' drivers..

 

Log falsification can result in criminal charges as well as a fine . That's why some safety departments say if you have to exceed legal hours go ahead and log it as you do it . A minor HOS violation is far less serious than document falsification .

 

DOT man visited us recently and made the same point.

 

Unless you try to exceed it because of the thought that you would be eligible when you are not and then you might get a bigger fine of 11,000.00

Minor is not the same as egregious!!

 

True, but have you not heard of the many on here that think they have an automatic 2 hours to drive when the snow was in the forecast for days.

 

E-LOGGERS can also ''falsify''..

 

What's that rule about double jeopardy?

With the 8 hour rule, drivers will now be in jeopardy at least twice per day on longer mile days.

 

Heh, yeah, I had to explain that one to our dispatcher.

 

Did you tell them to put their hand over the other ear?
