After a major accident. Does your Cell phone, food recipes, easy pass and qualcomm line up? If not, rewriting your log book only incriminates you. I run %100 legally now, I ain't going to jail for working.lol But I only run 1200 miles a week.

My new job is still trucking so it still sux's. Still driving a bit OTR but paid by the hour so that helps keep me around until I can save some more money for School. Man you seem to hate your job. You should consider something local.

okay.... I have a question to ponder.... what if your at 14 hrs 45 mins...(intrastate time) when you pull into the scales. (scales are 10 mins from home) you only have 15 mins left before you are out of hours... Can you tell the DOT No to an inspection because if you stay to be inspected that will put you over hours? just wondering????

I'd say that what those guys were doing is a little different from fudging your log book... They were apparently beyond fudging.
Anyway, you're right that, when push comes to shove, they can subpoena your cell records and qualcomm (my aunt works for qcomm and says the info is NOT protected- fwiw). That would be in an extreme case though. If you're just wanting to get past the scale master then all you have to do is keep your cool and roll with it. I've always fudged a bit just because I'm too lazy to recall exactly who was driving when. I mean, it's a serious pain IMO. But I'm not off by A DAY. I might be off by a few hours tops- and that's just for ease of logging. Sure, I could get in trouble for that. But I'm not going to get thrown in jail for it. Most companies and safety directors are smarter than to actually "support" log book falsifications. That used to be the norm, but not any more.
