You would be incorrect. How a driver is compensated has no effect on how they are required by the regulations to log it.

Please don't start with the same crap that CFM was banned several times for. Thanks.

Don't forget that the FMCSA lifted the ban 3 weeks ago. If your truck has GPS, your log MUST match exactly.:pissedoff:

Do local guys have to log ? How far from your home terminal are you allowed ?

I would love the company Im working for to buy a day cab, they have loads of local crap, they put the OTR drivers on it :hellno: They have one day cab and it is a POS that can not leave the yard :lol:

You know there are local drivers that do the same thing, but only back wards. They log MORE hours then they should so they can INCREASE their day and get more overtime. Work a 9 hour day, log 11. Find a nice quit place, fudge the log book and then take a two hour nap.:D

So, is that log falsification also, belpre?

By the way, that is the reason alot of the local companies around here are going to XATA and People-Net systems in the trucks.:D

Actually, it's qualcomm that they can match to now. My truck has a GPS, and I'd love to know how the FMCSA could use it to compare to my logs, since it doesn't keep a record.

Why short yourself time just toss that log sheet ,and instead of leaving at 0600 and arriving at 0800 then waiting until 1200...just wait until unloaded and then you can decide what time to show leaving/arriving .

I hate to burst your bubble but the qualcomm system most certainly does record your information and keeps it. Ever notice how you can ask a question of your boss and they can pull up a conversation from a year ago and read it verbatim? We got a message saying that the dot will start matching the qualcom to the logs also.
