Your experience with violating HOS.

Sir, excuse me, I just had a flash back to the 70,s when all we did was a 8 hour break, you mean that is not going to cut it?

 

That will cut it for a 8-2 split! LOL.

 

70s? it was still 8 hours until what? 2005?

 

Just ask the elog pros.

 

No doubt running eLogs requires a certain "learning" process. They do in fact become less of a PITA as you modify your old habits and throw away certain other habits. and learn to think further ahead

 

And 10 days to California in a Pete 259 plus 300 miles a day. 4 meals a day and a hotel room every night.

Ahem. One of my most outrageous stunts with paper logs was not to log at all. So I ran 8 days on book vacation. But ran about the USA as usual.

6 months later shred. It did not happen. =) I did keep a beater log just in case DOT stood on my fuel tank leaning in the window demanding it. It saved me in Memphis when they handed it back for correction. (You are allowed one chance to correct...)

As far as the stunt it did not happen.

What I do worry about though in these modern age of databanks that never die... theoratically you could maintain ELD logs for 10,000 years or until we are eradicated somehow. Shrugs.

 

I've blown my e log repeatedly. Heck, I once broke all the HOS regs on the same day, at the same time.

I got a mild chewing by Safety. Basically boiled down to "Don't do it again until the next time."

Last time, I was told I'd get a three day unpaid vacation. Yeah, we'll see if that actually happens. Money trumps all, for me and for whatever carrier I'm working with. Profits before people, people!
