Can my company change my elogs without my permission

Yes thy can. If you would have had an accident or violation during that time it reflects on both you and the company. It is not illegal for them to correct a log, now if thy did something like erase actual drive time to make things look legal that would be illegal.

 

The system will record who changed it, and most places require they enter a reason for the change. If anyone asks who changed it, the system will log it was them, not you. I am surprised the system is not set to send you a notification, and have you acknowledge the update. Since it was a verbal notification, in a few months if anyone audits the record, you can say I was not notified, then watch the DM that changed it scramble for a record showing you were notified. As the old saying, no signature, I never saw it, unless of course you have pictures, if you have pictures, you have proof.

 

Can they? They just did. Are they allowed to? Who are you going to complain to if they broke the law? You violated hos and falsified your logs to cover it. You didn't make that 13 hours legal by fudging the logs, you just made it so the system didn't recognize the violation. The violation still happened.

 

The question to me is this - why didn't you know that you would be over 11 hours near the delivery and called them to ask them to extend the delivery time so you can do a reset?

 

He used PC during his ten hour break to advance his position. DM changed it to on duty driving which eliminated the ten hour break. Which means the entire day was in violation.

 

10 minutes over leads to a 13 hour violation. I would ask how that works, but it's actually irrelevant.

You falsified a log. Your safety dept "corrected" it. The violation that they are showing is true, isn't it? So, why buck the system? You have their numbers on your truck and running under their authority. I'd wager that one more episode like that will have them terminate your contract. If that's cool with you, carry on as you were. But that's not a bright move. Even if you don't like that company and plan to jump ship, you don't want to do stuff like that.

Sharpen your pencil. Operate your truck SMARTER.

"But Six, I was only 10 minutes away..."

Don't just look at today, look at tomorrow too.
