Wow, alot of replys. I posted this almost a year ago and havent checked or been to this site since then. Well to put it short the outcome was a $218 fine for false logs that i paid during my court visit last march and i was on my way. To answer rainy's question citations said "your on your own" because the moving violation. This occured on i64 on the downgrade 45mph zone and i was doing about 55. Some one asked what traveling unreasonably fast ment, it means that your driving 1-15 mph over the posted limit and speeding is 15+ over posted limit. Dont quote me on the exact numbers but its somthing like that. But thats based of CT laws not WV so i call it unreasonably fast. Btw sorry for the super late post need to visit these forums more often again.

I got pulled over by WV trooper the other day for traveling unreasonably fast but the cop gave me a break on that, so the real issue is when he looked at my logs. Ill cut to the chase and say i got a citation for false logs for using off duty driving for reasons other than personal use. Im lucky i didnt get put out of service. Now, Prime claims that you can use off duty driving to find parking near by to reset after all freight has been delivered and waiting on reload. The trooper claims thats illegal. So i want to know is it legal to use off duty driving to find a truckstop or other parking place to wait for a reload when the reciever doesnt allow truck parking? Like i said PRIME INC. ALLOWS THIS only when empty and finding parking for reset and waiting for reload.
Sounds like you're doing work, so would be illegal. But, can't you just say you delivered a load and decided to go get something to eat and therefore, it's personal use?
By what the trooper said, not with a trailer connected. Personal use is all done while bobtailing.
