Gentleroger, that's not legel. If you get inspected, you will be asked to provide hotel receipts. If you can not provide hotel receipts for the large amount of days you have been doing this, the officer WILL NOT be a nice guy. He WILL cite you and probably place you out of service for 10 or 34 hours. Legally you must log off duty when off duty and not in the truck. Sleeper when you are off duty in the truck. Be expecting a call from regulatory too. They will eventually catch it. Might as well get with your DBL and let them know now. Just tell them you were not aware as it was not explained clearly in school.

 

Jenna, your trailer abs issue could be a bad electrical connector (green cord from truck to trailer). Go to the write up lane next time you are at an OC. Explain to them it happens with every trailer and you would like to try a new cord.

 

Stlwaco - before last February you'd be 100% right; now you're just not wrong. According to the changes that went into effect in Feb any time spent in a parked cmv can be recorded as off duty. As that's whats on the fcmsa page that's what I'll argue to DOT and the judge. As for regulatory my dbl has goten nasty notes whn I'vegon eover my 11/14/70 or gotten too creative with my logs but never anything about not logging sleeper berth. In two years I've had my logs reviewed 5 times by OSRs (once by the head guy in GB and once by the head guy in Atl) and only the prick who did my "retraining" after I cliped a guard rail going down adetour after Irene has said anything.

I do respect your opinion and when I log paper logs I do use the sb. But knowing my luck some morning I'm going to go in to shower and some snotty brat from Kansas will not GOAL an dpark he rhouse on my cab and I'll getin trouble for notbein gup to the last chang eof duty status and have to buy sni a new truck.

 

It depends, is there more "on duty" time that you didn't change? If you were on duty overnight, I'm assuming once midnight hit it split up the on duty time into two separate entries? Maybe you needed to change two separate entries instead of 1? Just a thought I'd throw that out there.

 

I've heard of Qualcomm automatically changing drivers over to on duty or driving in the middle of the night occasionally.

 

I've had that happen when they did an ota update I had to log back in and then everything corrected itsrlf

Well looks like I get another night in the hotel. The dealer hasn't got to my truck yet even though I had an appointment for 1600 YESTERDAY. Oh well. Guess I'll just kick back with my WIFI and cable and another morning of free breakfast.

 

It doesn't happen with every trailer though. Just half of the trailers. New ones, old ones - no rhyme or reason to it, really. I will have to swing by an OC and have them check it out, along with some other things anyway.

It did split it up, but I didn't have on-duty time to change. I changed my "off-duty" to "SB" just in case that was what was messing up the system. I know that when I have forgotten to log "SB" before, it'll still reset my 11/14.

I suppose I will message my DBL tomorrow and give her a quick heads-up. I'm not worried about being in trouble - it was the dang Qualcomm update that made it all wonky. I seriously sat there with pad and pencil, working out my off duty time to make sure it was over 10, using the "approve" tab times and totaling them up. That was after I had worked out what time I was available before I went to sleep the day before.

 

Lame. I guess the break is nice, but you're not exactly raking in the riches with that cable television, lol. But how nice to watch television - I miss it greatly.

 

Lots of times its the little cable on the tandems... after a blowout on the trailer it might have been pulled out or moved or the sensor is just bad. Sni has so many trailers like that its not even funny - I had to "deal" with the light on the side of the trailer a few times since I didn't want to get pulled over for the abs light (again).
