Can't remember the name of that company. Does it include a reference to the "commodity"....other than food? Not sure if that would be enough.

Better run it by Mike M first! :D

Not sure if I would want to hump all that freight, doing multiple stops a day, just to avoid writing down a few numbers..... but, it IS tempting! ;)

Ya, OK. Whatever you are talking about. Sure.

:D:D:D:D Okay, Dude! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

The requirement is for shipper AND commodity. Down here we have Food Lion trucks. Putting Food Lion on the Logsheet wouldn't necessarily satisfy the requirement. They don't always transport food, and they sure don't transport lions!

But, you're making enough money to pay the fines if you run across Trooper Dial, so whatever....:rolleyes:

I would like to see Ol' golfhobo cite the regs' on this.... As we know, Golfhobo is a legend in his own mind....:rolleyes:

I already did:

§395.8 Driver's record of duty status.

(d) The following information must be included on the form in addition to the grid: (d)(1) Date;
(d)(2) Total miles driving today;
(d)(3) Truck or tractor and trailer number;
(d)(4) Name of carrier;
(d)(5) Driver's signature/certification;
(d)(6) 24 hour period starting time (e.g., midnight, 9:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 p.m.);
(d)(7) Main office address;
(d)(8) Remarks;
(d)(9) Name of co driver;
(d)(10) Total hours (far right edge of grid); and
(d)(11) Shipping document number(s), or name of shipper and commodity.

Sometimes...I might have two BOL numbers to write down in a week. Sometimes I might even have two Shippers names too write down in a week. A couple times this year I even had to write done two BOL numbers in one day!!! :eek::eek:

Luckily on MOST of those days it was only one shipper.:p:p

Thanks for the info cats.
Prishie ate it.

Double R:

As mentioned by Rev, it's Shipper & Commodity.

Depending on how your company keeps records you could be hurting your employer. Whereas, your employer has to provide the BOLs, logs, fuel receipts, toll receipts, and any other supporting documents for a 30 day period for each trip when the DOT performs a compliance review. The investigator has to be reasonably satisfied all documents ssociated with a trip were presented with the log.

MB had too many reviews where carriers learned supporting documents are difficult to find when requested.

Be safe.

Good point Stanley! Chew on this one.........................

At the bottom of my log sheets...............for the past 3 years.........without exception:

From: Indianapolis, IN To: Indianapolis, IN

Stan, if you end up with more than two BOLs to write down. Always feel free to call me at HOME for further guidance.:p:p:p:p
