No miles

You can go over 70 hours on line 4, it won't hurt anything. All you'd be doing is stealing time from your next hours gained at midnight.

 

You could log a post trip, becasue all that you are doing is flagging it. It is not asking you how much time that you are taking. Hope that you are not always logging post trip on line 4.

 

When you log the post trip on line 4 all you are doing is indicating the time that you finished the post trip inspection. For example, my day ends when I drop the last trailer at the yard. My post trip is done while I am on duty, but flagged when I go to off duty, the time I finished my post trip. I did it this way on paper, and I have continued to do it this way on E-logs. I have never been questioned about it and I have been on E-logs almost 2 years.

 

FYI post trip does not have to be logged onduty its just a walk around and you don't even need to flag it Mac 32 verifies your post trip has been done

 

They want you to be on duty when you send the mac32 ... that said, less than 5 minutes and it will flag on what ever duty status you switch back to, be it on duty or sleeper.

 

You may have seen that Macro 9 video. Instead of just straight turning the impossible loads down, trip plan them out and put in the times that you can make the pick up and delivery. You might catch the occasional load that will fit your parameters rather than being pulled off you truck completely.

You mentioned letting your clock run out, one trick is to empty out like you said in your scenario and go to the truck stop or whereever, immediately log Sleeper right away. After 8 hours you will have the balance of your 11 and 14 available that you did not use. The planner will see you have hours earlier than another driver who pulled the same load from the same customer at the same time and delivered at the same time as you for example. That guy taking a full 10, you got him beat by 2 hours, although if you both got loaded that morning, he'd load 2 hours later than you but would catch up to you as you pulled over at the rest area for 2 hours to complete your break.

 

we are a team and are o/op we r out of edwardsville terminal, we run so much that we are out of hours and r likly going to have to turn down a trip we already accepted,due to misreading our recap ,

 

That can get you into more trouble then you want to deal with.
