1..The rules are very strict...monitor time during the day in 15 minute intervals
2..Account for mandatory breaks and meal times.
3..Find appropriate parking for sleep time.
4..If there are two drivers the sleep time of second driver log book must fit in with first driver.
Highway patrol makes inspection of log book and can go back ( I think it was 5 days).
5. Penalties can be $1000 per infraction.
Spokeshave quit when regulations changed....It was necessary to log ALL time in ANY moving vehicle...bicycle...skate board...taxi....train....bus...etc.
For example Spokeshave ferried a new Carrier refrigerated truck from the factory in LA to the depo in northern CA....then taking overnight greyhound bus from Oakland to LA to pick up another...(sleeping on the bus).
Note ..The truck was manufactured in Mexico...and the Carrier cooling system was installed in LA.
The trucking rules are very strict.........................
Yeah sure.....but “the rules” apply only to Americans .......obviously.
