I've been doing that most of the time, when they are long - involved posts. I've been bitten more than once on those! But, this was just 5 little words and a smilie!! LOL!!! Can't believe I had to type it six times to get it through!!

Roadhog must have installed a "sphyncter filter!" :lol:

Why not do as I do. Type it in a word processor (something like Notepad). Make copy. Then post it to the forum.

You guys are way too sophisticated for me....... :lol: :lol: :lol:

speaking of the reset, how is that logged, exactly? I've been having issues with the person checking our logs, about the way I've been doing that, specifically with hours worked in previous days. Does the FMCSA have an example? I couldn't find one.

It should be logged as it happened. If you were in the sleeper berth, then it should be logged as sleeper berth. If you got out of the truck, then it should be off duty. The 34 hour reset can be any combination of the two, as long as it isn't broken up with any on duty time.

If you are referring to the recap (which I think you are), just zero it out after completing the 34 hour reset. That is the purpose of the reset - to zero out everything.

But, that being said, do it as your safety department tells you to do it.

Keep in mind no one is going to believe you was in the sleeper 34 hours straight. DOT will question you on this.

Yet another uninformed nugget of misinformation from Dawn. :roll:

I've done a full 34 hour reset without EVER leaving my truck. SEVERAL TIMES. Maybe when you actually DRIVE a truck, Dawn, you can make a claim such as this. :roll:

Yeah, the recap. Sorta. We're using loose-leaf that has the last 7 days, today's hours, and total. They've got me carrying days prior of reset in 2 days... the day of reset *and* onto the next day. If I have to use a second sheet of paper to add up hours... it ain't right. I think she got over zealous trying to correct me. I was zeroing out the 7 days on the day of the reset and she didn't like that- wanted to previous days shown. The last time, she wanted me to carry them in passed the day of reset, which makes no sense to me at all.

Considering all of my resets are done in the comfort of my own home, I don't think I'll spend much time worrying about that one. Assuming I was on the road for a 34hr reset, though, I bet my ruler and pen would make a couple of nifty jogs up to line 1 here and there, just to break up the monotony of a line spanning 34 hours. Thanks for the tip, though. :wink:

Yes, that doesn't make sense, but if they want you to do it that way, then I guess there is little you can do.

Is there anyone else who does logs for your company? If so, ask them how the company would like the recap done after a 34 hour reset. It might be that this person just has no idea.

Sorry Golf, I didn't see your response earlier.

We now have 70/7, and now have a reset. Only problem is that it's 36 hours instead of 34.
