Running out of hrs at shippers-doesnt seem to be any solution

There is NO regulation covering it.

that I know of.

 

Exactly my point.


There is NO regulation allowing for travel to a "safe haven" because you ran out of hours at a shipper/consignee.

You are running as illegal doing so as someone on paper "justifying" your actions by saying you are on E-logs.

 

I have had dispatchers who would text me pick up info. It's a easier than writing it all down. No biggie.

 

Maybe not it's just something I heard around here. Could very well be BS.

 

Below 0.04, you can be put OOS for 10 hours,

Over 0.04, you get dui.

I'm on the phone or I'd find that part.

 

I do what I got to do when I do what I do then I am done with what I did when I do what I done
!

 

It's not an egregious violation unless you're 3 hours over. You can put getting to a safe haven and they usually will leave you alone. Our company got Audited by DOT when they switched to Elogs and they let you go into violation up to 8 times a quarter without penalty. I don't do it if at all possible and I have never been pulled in with a violation on my log so I don't know personally, just know what our company tells us.

 

I really hope that you're kidding.

 

Amen....it's amazing how many "professional drivers" never look in their mirrors.

I just can't bring myself to believe that an electronic log makes a driver safer. From what I see every day out on the road, the drivers I feel are the most unsafe are the ones who have the stickers on the side saying "this driver uses elogs" or whatever.

And you're right, IMO....elogs makes it where a driver lets someone who's not in the truck do his thinking. I've really developed a bad impression of elogs after seeing a few company drivers I know switch over to them. Just makes me shake my head. Sets me more and more in the frame of mind I will be one of the last to ever allow them in my truck.
