Yellow | Logging off duty / while waiting for freight warning letters

You log ALL compensated time in your 14 hour peroid as driving or on duty not driving, other than your 1 hour break...KK

Even the non-compensated time we give at a turn point is logged as on duty not driving unless the driver takes that time as his break/meal and is free to do so.
 
Drivers will get a 1700 dispatch for a 600 mile run....sit on the bench for 3 to 4 hours waiting.....get paid and log in at that time to make the run....yeah, do the math.....if they logged legally, they would be over 14 hour rule....elogs will stop it and CDO will have to plan the runs better....KK
It will just cost us money. And less home time. If I sit on the bench for 3 hours and can't make a 600 mile run because of it they will send us home or put us to bed on the road.

Yes, driver shouldn't loose wages

Let the union fight for your wages (loss income) let the company figure out how to get the freight their, we as drivers focus on providing this professional service. Cooking your logbook is not how a union driver supplement loss wages.

Lmao the union is in bed with the company. Why do you think the pts sign in and sign out sheets are so secret.
 
I know we don't. But if people say you are getting paid it has to be on duty then that opens a big can of worms.

Once and for all and for the last time hopefully, compensated time has nothing at all to do with the log status of that time. Whether a driver is compensated for certain time is a Union/contract issue. How any time is logged is strictly a DOT issue. There is no direct connection between the two.
 
With some of the concerns and questions on here, it would make one beleive we need a Logbook 101 refresher course. .....but thos is why we are here....to ask and receive information....KK

Big R, if the wages aren't in line by the time the elogs are implemented, drivers aren't going to be able to afford to drive, unless they down size their life style and spending habbits.
 
Do I have to log driving time in and out of the shop?
How about down the street to the Volvo dealer?
If you are on the clock for over 11 hours you log driving time even if you are not over 100 miles from domicile like city drivers. The shop falls under much the same rules as city drivers.

North Carolina State Trooper told several of us at dispatch one time (Company actually arranged for a couple of troopers to spend 3 days at 653 to answer questions) that if you are driving a day cab tractor and were sitting in the driver's seat even with the park brake on it was DRIVING TIME....NOT ON DUTY NOT DRIVING....So yeah Wrench...better "Log-Up" LOL

Bullshit
 
Layover is for time at the hotel past 14 hours.....if they call you on 12.5 hours to go, you get paid 2 hours (Southern Supplement)....It has nothing to do with logs.....you run for 4 hours and go to bed, you het an 8 hour mini.....do you start your time from when you went to bed after 4 hours of work, or do you start agter the 8 hots mini?

Layover starts after your 14th hour of being away from home domicle.....KK
My point was eligibility for lay over is conditional on NOT being put to work BEFORE your 14th hour. If you begin (working) logging "on duty, not driving" prior to your 14th hour, technically you HAVE been put to work.
 
Company policies may be different. I never have logged driving time on road calls unless I was over 100 miles from the terminal or if I had been on the clock for over 11 hours. My safety man explained to me that those of us in the shop basically followed the same rules as city drivers. After the 11th hour on the clock it is required to log time. Yes if you are over 100 miles from the terminal or over 11 hours driving it is required that it be logged.
I always carry a log book if there is a chance of going over 100 miles or going over 11 hours. Driving a service truck (pickup) that is not over 10,000 lbs gross is not covered by DOT regulations & does not require logging time. It is however considered time on duty & would have to be logged as such if later in your shift you drove a truck over 10,000 lbs gross & went over 11 hours or over 100 miles from the terminal. Time on a log book must match time card punch times.
 
It is in the computer that you are set to leave at 18:00.......if you leave at 19:00 and log on with your code, it will automatically show you on bottom line one hour for compensation. ......a new day is coming.....times are about to change.....KK
Kronos will do that.
