If you go off duty or sleeper for a minimum of 2 hours it will pause your 14 hour clock. That came about with the 8/2 or 7/3 split sleeper a few years ago.

I never heard back. I figured the FM was not able to understand such technical info & just didnt want to show any more "lack of understanding".
The fleet mgr didn't need to let me know anything. I was already informed. They were the ones confused.cke, Siinman, Rideandrepair and 2 others Thank this. -

I had a scale ticket was like 72K gross, his scale at the transfer station had me at like 81K.
He starts speaking going," It will be one thousand........."
My mind just cut off after that.
I told him I wasn't paying him a F dime. He's says he gets a few CRE trucks a month.
And I thought, " Well I'm not part of your payoff / shake down.
He says," You'll go to jail."
I says," Let's go to jail then."
I follow him to the jail. Lock the truck, and I'm walking in and he's like," No you can wait in your truck."
He calls CRE, safety calls me, I tell them never in a million years am I giving him a penny.
CRE says we'll pay him. I told them I'm not writing the comcheck, I don't give AF.
He comes out about 15 minutes later, he even has his own comchecks, CRE had him write it, gives me my license and says I can go.
It's not your imagination. That place is wtf corrupt, and hopefully they all die in a fire.RedForeman, Sirscrapntruckalot, cke and 9 others Thank this. -

I got pulled over for a roadside inspection in Chicago on 94 near the skyway. July 1996, Local Cop. Very nice. Didn’t really check anything. Said he loves his new job. No longer wears his bulletproof vest. New safety program. Feds pay his salary, as long as he pulls over X amount of Trucks for DOT inspection. My Truck looked brand new, with a fresh paint job, and sticker from the Sales Lot still on the vent window. I got DOT’d 4 times in one month. Also a lot of compliments on the CB on the Looks of my Truck. Took the sticker off, and it all stopped. I think they pick new Trucks for inspection to avoid any recourse from passing an older Truck, that may have a problem they miss, and gets caught later. Maybe causing an accident. Just my theory. Makes sense, especially if the Officer isn’t very experienced.
Sirscrapntruckalot, JolliRoger, cke and 5 others Thank this.
