I don't understand why your speaking about me like I'm not around, lmfao!!! But anyways, I'm not an OTR driver!!!!!!! I'm a "short-haul", or anything I can get done in my 14hrs. driver! And yes, I asked for the log because it said the company would supply me with so on and so forth in my "new hire" paperwork. Had I of know that it was a SERIOUS D.O.T. violation, NEVER would I have left the plant. Goes to show you where "trust & respect" for people (namely my new boss) gets you in todays world!!!
Actually I've got a college degree with a 3.67 G.P.A. :wink: The reason I choose my prefession is becasue I love driving, the money is great for what I do, and my kids love braggin about daddy's "Big Truck", lol! See, I've always seen weigh stations, but never once thought about there position. I've always seen scales at the truckstops too, but never thought once about it. I honestly assumed that the scales were there for drivers to be sure they weren't overweight. So that in the case of a D.O.T. stop, they could provide proof of their shipment/weight???
Fact is, even though I took a bashing from my "coworkers", lol, I still learned a lot in this thread! I guess thats what matters.....

1. He got caught OTR with no log, because "his boss told him" to drive anyway. Again, the poster knew he needed a log, otherwise, why would he have asked for one?

I never wrote those quotes, I only wrote about driving local in So Cal and I didn't need a logbook.
Don't bash on me for something I didn't write.
