Default logging legal

Just wondering how many people will say they always log it as they run it and do not cheat on their logs.

having worked for slow companies and local I haven't had to worry about cheating too much. If it ever came to brass tacks I would cheat only so far as to find a safe place to park.

Won't get me to admit anything illegal in print! Remember, DOT can monitor these forums and very easily can get a warrant to get your identity and audit you!!

Logging LEGAL?? Yes!!

The few times that I had my log book reviewed by DOT, it was always legal.

Now, did I "rethink my logging perspectives" at the end of the day??

Well........

Read the few links below that discuss what happened to a truck driver running over his hours of service . As someone stated in one of the links below I am sure he didn't want to hurt anyone, however he is the one that got behind the wheel knowing he was over his hours of service.
This whole accident was based on the fact he was driving over his 11 & 14 hour rule!

Do a research on Truck driver Taylor University and you can find more articles. Keep in mind when they mention fatigue they get "fatigue" from knowing the driver was over his hours of service.

The driver is in prison at this time. To me he got darn lucky and only served 4 years in prison. Thanks to the family for not pushing harder I am sure :cry:
