I'm curious as to what exactly you mean. If you had the previous 7 days logs, that's all you need. You are not required by any FMCSA rule to do a recap. If he wrote you up for the recap being wrong, then he wrote you up for a bogus ticket.

I know. It's confusing and I didn't explain it well.
In Ontario you are not required to fill out a log for the days you didn't work i.e. if you go on duty on the 18th but were off the 17th, you can note "zero hours on duty for the 17th" on your log for the 18th.
As we all know, the US wants you to write up a log for the 17th, draw a line and total 24 off duty hours. I know this and I used to do it that way.....at least until I got a Canadian log book that has this nice little recap for your off duty days. I thought I would test the DOT man. He was not amused. "That's fine in Ontario, but when you're down here, I want you to do it this way".
it was just a written warning. Not really a fine or a ticket.
