In a large truck stop that A/C plugs in so the truck doesn't have to idle to keep the sleeping driver cool.

That's fine and dandy, as long as he takes the 5 minutes to set it up at each stop and takes it back down again before driving away.

Yikes! I'm not sure I pass there.

BigV · 03-03-2018, 03:12 PM

Well, he did his pass at 8 mph, so, reaction time was not an issue. Truck driver needs a a sea anchor..

xoxoxoBruce · 03-03-2018, 06:58 PM

He's tacking into the wind like a good sailor.

Truck carrying short logs hits a truck carrying long logs.
Driver in serious but stable condition.

Here's a long shot from a news chopper.

Apparently he thought he was in an Uber truck.

I heard about that incident. I wonder how they explained that one to their respective dispatchers. The e-log has no mercy.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-28-2018, 07:35 AM

Wouldn't the e-log show them as stopped? Just need a note from ~~Mom~~ Mr Policeman.

When free parking is made available, don't you take advantage of it?

Gravdigr · 04-30-2018, 03:59 PM

Wonder how it went in the log?

Down time? Or driving time?

You're not driving, but you're on the road.

Pamela · 05-04-2018, 08:34 AM

Technically, the time would be logged on Line 4, On Duty Not Driving.

Any interaction with police, DOT or emergency services must be logged that way. And the fourteen hour clock keeps running nonstop unless you log a minimum of eight hours in the sleeper berth.

This will likely qualify under the Adverse Driving Conditions rule, which allows for up to two hours additional driving time due to unforeseen events which could not be reasonably be predicted at the start of the day.

The split break rules are not well understood and caused many violations in the paper log days. Elogs have eliminated this.

Learn about split breaks here, if you are interested.
