What do you mean line 5 i was told to use line 8a.5.5b & c

no wonder i was confused and couldnt find it

You were told wrong! ANYONE using line 8a.5.5b&c is automatically disqualified! :shock:

Jeez! Where did YOU learn to drive a truck??? :lol:

And you claim to know the regs.

It is clearly stated in the FMCSA regs that line 8a.5.5b&c is for adverse driving.

damm know wonder the dot officer just shook his head at me.

I got my license from a reputable place

THE CRACKER JACKS BOX :lol: :lol:

Ahhh..... well, that answers my OTHER question! I was so busy convincing you (or those with a brain) that they COULD use the exemption... I never got around to asking HOW one would LOG it! :shock: :lol:

I wish I'd known last Friday night! Had to pull off the road to avoid "shutting down" in traffic for a 20 mile backup! My dispatcher had no knowledge of it before sending my load assignment, and it was DEFINITELY "unusual."

For awhile, I considered using the exemption.... but couldn't find line 8.5.5 a&c.

So, I just "jiggled" the book a little and showed an 8 hour break OFF THE CLOCK! :lol:

Only lost $40!!! :shock: :wink:

[While I was in the sleeper, of course!]

You sure it wasn't "El Jacko Cracko?" :lol:
