So what exactly is a cte?

Except I can, to a degree, link the oversleeping to not getting a full 10.

That means I need to turn down loads which I know in advance will require me to be off duty in order to make the next.

It amounts to the notion that I need to know when to say no to a load before it's even on me. Sometimes that can be difficult to do given that when we receive a load we may not have time to stop and ensure that time is right.

Shhh...don't tell Sni but we often times get our next load over the phone from our dbl on the way back from the current one. If you're new or have a poor ability to do mental math or are tired...a mathematical error can let you think you've got enough time when you really don't.

Thanks for the help, all of you.

 

Think about that, just for a second...

Elogs, while harder to cheat, are a great deal like paper logs. It's not automated completely and requires human input.

The cheating happens when you drop or pickup a trailer off duty or similar actions which we all know should be logged as on duty.

Going to assume you already knew that though and what you want to hear is my next statement...

Doing something like that is the choice of the driver. Ie, my fault.

In order to make some loads work in the past, I have "had" to drop, hook or other tasks logged as off duty. Point in trying to make is that, in hindsight, I should have refused these loads.

So, on paper, my 10 happened. But if I dot officer were to have followed me around that day, I'd be in trouble.

 

Heh... Make you a deal.

I'll take that perpetual motion machine off your hands if you'll trade it for my oceanfront house in Arizona.



(And yes, I "know" that.)
