Alot of the drivers make it through there just fine the ones that don't the officer escorts to the nearest service station lot (not a big truckstop just a lil lot with a service station) until they are able to go again (one put out of service for 10 hours for not having a signature on day before's log was filled out all but the signature, no other violations or warnings, not here to dispute that matter know the signature should have been there and not to contest it, that signature being absent on that page for day before is wrote up as 'driver failing to keep past 7 days current'......I know that was drivers responsibility to put it on there and not going to dispute it but just wondered how frequent these stops are made just to check out the book..........[/quote]

Did I understand this correctly meaning log has to be signed before the end of the day or at the beginning of the day?

I never sign mine until have finished log for the day, I have been randomly stopped in Mississppi heading into Jackson said they were doing random checks on logs and paperwork. Also have had logs looked at at weigh stations and no one has said a word about signature not being on it.

My company pays for each passed inspection, so bring on the cash.

the log for the day before the stop was filled out missing the signature therefore not completed

I love those commercials!

To me, those commercials are better than a lot of TV fare offered on TV today. The good news is the cavemen are getting there own sit-com show.

yes this happens everyday across the usa, its called revenue, don,t you know truck drivers make alot of money and can pay them big fines...

its not a safety check like they say, is to make money is all... just keep your logs current and save yer money...

Michigan State Police pulls over a lot of truckers entering the US byway of the Ambassador Bridge from Canada into Detroit, MI. Fort Street is the hot zone, you will get pulled over!

If your driving a commercial vehicle on any road, and pulling a trailer an officer does not have to have probable cause. His probable cause is hes doing a safety inspection to make sure that the vehicle is safe operate. His probable cause is he wants to know what your hauling. I've been pulled over for no good reason in Mississippi, Texas, Nebraska, and some other states. They have a quota as to how many roadside inspections they have to perform every month. If you have a CDL and are operating a CMV, that is their probable cause. The case you stated is different than what he's talking about.
