How does one go over their 11/14 with a loose leaf log book and knowledge of basic math ?

*ahem* They won't get it, though.

Well, I see I have access to the website again, although I can't edit or delete anything.

If the driving schools and state testers were smart, i would have each driver trying to get their CDL solve 20 math problems...20 with decimas, and 20 counting up 11/14 hr days, keeping track of those hours just like on a log book. anybody who cant score 100% on them gets canned right there.

If you cannot be accurate, and count to 11, 14, 34 and 70, you've got no business behind the wheel.

logging isn't that simple. The larger companies, as you know, give logging classes if you are having trouble. And... if you still log in error, they can you.

also, most CDL schools go over logging

What is so hard about logging....if you're NEAT. you add up all 4 lines, total them at the end, add vertical to make sure you have 24 hrs. If you end up with 24.50, you know you messed up somewhere. if your right so far, you jot that number down and add it with your previous 6 days. Really isnt that hard.

as you are aware, you also have to understand how to long correctly. Not just the math. If you think because you added up to 24 you have logged correctly, than you haven't learned to log correctly. :hellno:

tru dat.....BUT if a driver dont know the difference between logging for being in the sleeper, or taking a shower or a 10-200 (smokey and the bandit) or having dinner in the wal-mart cafe, i can't help ya. Driver always has to know where is 11 and 14 hr limits are. Its all about paying attention to detail.

Oh, I gathered from your prior post that all would be solved if the CDL schools tested for math.

If the driving schools and state testers were smart, i would have each driver trying to get their CDL solve 20 math problems...20 with decimas, and 20 counting up 11/14 hr days, keeping track of those hours just like on a log book. anybody who cant score 100% on them gets canned right there.

Loose leaf went right over your head, huh?
