Logging Natural Disasters
Whats the logging situation for naturals disasters? I have a friend of mine who has been asked to make an emergency run From MN to IA and back to ND with a load of sand bags. I know in some cases if its a "National emergency" the log book is "thrown out". Do you have to have documentation other than the BOL to do this? Whats the FMCSR regs on this situation?

There is a driver at USXpress whom was posting here. Flood. He knows lot's more about it than do I. |
That's what I had remembered but I wanted to double check. The company he drives for is notorious for running there drivers hard ( illegal). I used to drive for them a couple of years ago and left when they really started to push there drivers to run illegal. They will tell there drivers anything to put bucks in their pockets. They have been audited several times and somehow come out ok.

As far as I know, in disaster relief, you throw the log book out the winder.
That's a bad deal up there. I've got a cousin that lives in Grand Forks. That's the other Red River. :p Funny thing. That Red River flows north. |
We delivered some generators after the last hurricane hit Texas. If I remember correctly we had a letter that stated we were doing disaster relief. A year or two ago we hauled some disaster relief supplies in Washington after some flooding. They allowed us to take a shorter route in order to deliver sooner. The government will relax rules when it is in their best interest to do so.

If you use the discarded log to plug a dyke, which line would you record that on? In the event of a roundtrip scenario, as stated above, are you throwing out two logs or four? What is the carbon footprint of a discarded log? |

I'm pretty sure you're right on the money but I'm still a little confused . . do you log the disaster, then chuck the log or do you chuck the log and then log on the next page?

And here it is!
