Not only that, but why would I use a log keeping system that makes it EASIER for the DOT to see if I have a logging error? This is absolute lunacy!
From DDL website, instructions to DOT officers: 2. To open DDL Software, click on the icon on the desktop 3. To see a list of violations, click on the Violation icon located on the toolbar. 4. To see a recap of what the driver has done in the past 60/7 days or if the driver is a 70/8days, click on Details button located on the right side under Recap. 5. Violations will also show up in the “yellow” zone on the grid. “No Driving in the Yellow” 6. A list stating the violation(s), section violated, and time/date violation began will be listed in the remarks section. 7. You can see current up to the minute drivers information by clicking on Drivers Info icon. 8. You may print any logs or details for a copy to attach to the citation.

I agree with Gman and a few others here that the whole concept of logbooks and hours of service is counterproductive to safety, and I refuse to make the enforcement of those regulations covering such any easier than it already is.

As far as "safe haven", that applies to certain HM commodities when leaving the vehicle unattended. There is no regulation for "finding a parking spot after getting loaded or unloaded".

Rev.Vassago said:
The only time you are allowed to exceed the 11 hour rule is when there are adverse driving conditions existing which a motor carrier could not have known about prior to dispatching the driver, and in that case, it can only be up to 2 hours beyond the 11 hour rule, and it must have been possible to complete the trip within the 11/14 hours if the adverse driving conditions were not present. You cannot exceed the 14 hour rule, even under adverse driving conditions.
Here's the reference, if you want to refresh your memory: 395.1  :thumbsup::moon::lol::lol:

So sayeth the guy who thinks that road construction is an "adverse driving condition".

Road construction is an expected part of the deal. If dispatchers don't know about it, drivers should. But, occaisionally, roads are CLOSED without notice for temporary construction requirements. At THIS time, the adverse driving condition WOULD apply if needed. (unless the driver sees a sign warning him of it before he gets TO it.) If he is PAST the last exit BEFORE they close the road, and he is stuck there, the adverse driving exemption applies, within the allowable regulations which you misquoted, of course.

That's a classic thread right there. |
