I would normally say if you can do it in less than 7.5 minutes you can flag it (being the pre-trip). The post-trip, if you can do all that in less than 7.5 or 15 minutes well you are super trucker, don't log any and I guess you can see what DOT says. The post-trip will/should take you @ least 15 minutes (which means line 4) :D |

And because they are both done thoroughly, they both take over 15 minutes, and must be logged accordingly. If you are magical, however, and can pull off a pre trip or post trip inspection in less than 15 minutes, then by all means flag it. But they are both required to appear on your log, even if it is just flagged. After all, paperwork (which gets done in a post trip inspection) is an ON DUTY (not driving) activity. |

I hear you're running anything BUT legal over at CF Transport. Please read the post-trip inspection quote from DOT that I posted originally! It states must be shown in writing! Again I believe in my original post about this, I stated many officers look for either one to be on line 4. They state as long as one of them is on line 4! My drivers log it this way daily and go through inspections and haven't been written up! Now I do not tell a driver to flag a pre-trip, I state it just as I did here! If you can do a pre-trip in less than 15 minutes you can flag it. It is totally wrong for me to tell anyone it only takes them 15 minutes to do a post-trip or pre-trip. Joe can take 1 hour to do his and if that is the case that is what he should log! We have been through 3 Internal DOT audits and have never been told we are wrong. Actually many more dealing with just equipment audits, which they will pull the post-trip form and match it to repair bills. If a driver writes something wrong with their truck or trailer and we didn't get it fixed we are in trouble. Haven't been in trouble yet? Like I said all companies are different in this and all drivers are different! Like I said also both pre & post is very important and I personally would feel it would take @ least 15 on both! But the drivers want to make the best of their money and do it legally that is why I explained this! And sorry your birdie told you WRONG! :lol: Where I work, we are FAR from allowing our drivers to run illegal! No need to go toe to toe: I am only explaining my opinion as you have expressed your opinion! If you chose a different way then go for it. Either way is acceptable to DOT. |
