Contrary to want people think the DOT really isn't out to get you, their job is to make sure the roads are safe and most of them are pretty nice nice guys.

Frankly I run a loose leaf logbook because I have been known to make mistakes....spill coffee, and my dog ate one of the pages ( :lol: :lol: :lol: ), but seriously...its easier, neater, and I just prefer it.
By the way, the DOT requires "8" pages in the book to be current, the previous "7" and the "1" you are on for that day. The only way to get by with fewer than "8" pages phsyically in the in the logbook is if one of the pages covers more than one day of off duty time. Not too long ago I really disappointed a GA Dot man.... I only had 2 pages in the book...he asked me where the rest were... I told him thats all there were because I had been home for a solid week.... 8) He thought he had a live one..... :P 8) And I agree with the other poster's: The DOT Officers are NOT the bad guys. Like many of you, I've been inspected and had my stuff checked over pretty thoroughly, and its always been done professionally and with courtesy....and I've always gotten my "stickers"..

I always make a loose leaf logbook where companies supplied the books. Otherwise I printed them with DDL. I never had more than the required number of log sheets to present to D.O.T. and I never had a problem. kc0iv

I dont agree with "dot is just trying to make roads safe".
If were talking safety, then why does the piece of junk 1988 tri-axle infront of me, and the junk behind me, get the "go ahead" wave, but me, being right between both of them, in a brand new, CLEAN Kenworth practically straight off the showroom floor get stopped for a full rectum check? I have been stopped and checked atleast 6 times since November. They (DOT) are the 1 only reason I dread any day that I know I will be going over a scale. I'm seriously considering starting to charge for my autograph. I cant keep stopping my wheels everytime they want me to sign something for them. Thats all I'm gonna say about that, and I'm not going to argue with any other replies. That wont get anyone anywhere, but I've been screwed around by them way too many times to go around and calling them "nice guys trust trying to make an honest living." Just one guys opinion. BTW, thanks for the log book info. I'm gonna start doing the loose leaf deal.
