Question About "E-logs" And Hours

What happens when you have a radical weather change in the middle of BFE as we are so famous for in the west or have a breakdown in BFE? just trying to wrap my head this part....

The weather, IF unknown, falls into the category of unforeseen things happening. If you run into something unforeseen, such as bad weather, then you are allowed to driver over 2 hours to complete the trip. I don't know if breakdowns fall under that category or not. I don't remember reading that in the DOT regulations. It might, I just don't know.

BUT, it has to be unforeseen. We have to keep an eye on the weather. If you are going thru Denver, lets say, and you check the weather and they are under a winter storm warning. If you get caught in bad weather, it is not unforeseen. If you didn't check the weather, and run into predicted bad weather. That is your fault.

Just remember Joe that 2 hours to drive to a safe haven must be done before your 14 hours expires. It in no way extends your 14 hour clock.

True Guyjax. Didn't think to mention that. Thank you.

I've had a couple times where my 14 hr clock ran out while being loaded or unloaded. My company's logging department instructed me to drive to closest t/s and put "safe haven" in the remarks. The logs dept. Doesn't want to see this kinda thing done a whole lot and I definitely wouldn't want to do it more than once in any 8 day period because that's how far DOT will look back.
