    Ok I work for a company that services the oilfield( moving equipment etc.. and they have crews that build roads and other oil field related stuff) and the dispatch guy keeps making comments about getting 5 line logs and some drivers have been told by DOT that we cant use that line 5. My question is can we use that line 5 logs or not?

    Line 5 is off duty time at "well sites". I don't believe you can use it for anything else. If you need more proof just google the exact wording and show it to you safety dept.

    I agree with the ^^, but if your company requires you to log under that rule, the tickets are their problem if not correct.

    They might pay the tickets for you , but it will be on your MVR, CSA 2010, PSP report. That would make it your problem. I worked for a couple of outlaw companies and they don't care what their policies do to your record. So I would follow the law and find another company to work for.
