Rewriting History

I was thinking of a case where for example what if you were hired immediately by a company to drive, and they were prepared to dispatch that second. They would have to know that you hadn't worked in the last day, and not need a reset, or a boatload of hours at your window washing job in the last week, before sending you out so you could legally complete the run

Vendingdude please re-read everything I wrote in this thread previously about the Time Worked Statement. It's an actual, DOT document designed to account for the exact scenario you describe above. Exact scenario. There is no log up to the point of a new driver being hired with the new company. There are several other reasons when and why the Time Worked Statement is used...

You mentioned that you drove for Swift... Case in point; where I work several of the DMs also drive, frequently. When they work in their DM role they are not logging (paper log or e-log) their time because it's not a regulated, DOT driving function. When they do drive they are required to fill out and sign a Time Worked Statement to account for the previous weeks hours worked as a DM before logging into an active driver status. They must show legally they have hours available to drive. Without that completed document electronically filed, they cannot be dispatched.

I cannot make it any clearer than that.

Yes we are in complete agreement
