Do truckers really have to keep up to date logbooks on them?

Pretty much mandated to run electronic logs now. Which makes for all kinds of pains when the app based one they used messes up or there's discrepancies.

its a bitch when they pull those road side scales outta their truck

When the DOT steps out of their truck with the stick and says "time to dip your tank", but when you undo the cap to your fuel tank they say "not that one" and get out the KY...then you're about to have a really bad day.

Snow storm years ago. Had a 1078 LMTV loaded with salt trailering a matching trailer loaded. Pulled on the scales and before I stopped tech ran out of the weight station hands in the air with a clip board (WTF are you doing he says) he takes me inside to look at the DOS green screen readout. If it hadn't been snowing and my truck still sitting on the scale and his styrofoam lunch sitting on his desk getting cold.......I'm sure he would have had a field day, instead he says go on, don't come through here like this again!

That's crazy that they have to produce logs on request. I'm an airline pilot and I haven't updated my logbook in a year. The company keeps pretty close watch on our duty times and required rest periods, but the final responsibility falls on me as the pilot.

Its not crazy at all. You want some guy driving cross country on 2 hours of sleep?

What carrier do you fly for? My childhood buddy is a pilot for American, 737s.

When a trucker crashes it doesn't usually result in a mass casualty event like a commercial airliner going down...

Unless the engine is 1999 or older, can still run paper logs.

Yes, but as he mentioned, his airline keeps track of his miles etc. Truckers could just drive straight across the USA without stopping, and none would be the wiser til DOT got him, or he falls asleep at the wheel. That's the difference for me anyway.

I fly the Embraer 175 for a regional carrier. My airline covers routes as Alaska, American, Delta and United. I typically only do Delta and United routes.

I can get checked by the FAA at anytime, they can ride in the cockpit and evaluate me, they can ask me for my pilot certificate, radio permit, medical certificate, current charts, proper flash light and so on. They won't ask for logbooks to check my compliance with the regulations on duty time, rest etc. I can get in an airplane and fly it all day without the FAA knowing until they are investigating something after the fact where a trucker can be checked on the spot. That's what I find crazy, not the idea of setting limits and required rest for truckers.

My buddy flew regional jets, Embraer and Bombardiers for years as captain before moving to 737...but he's back in the right seat/first officer.
