Logs must be turned in every day to dispatch unless you are away from the yard for more than one day at a time. This means that if you are away from the yard for more than one day, you do not need to turn in logs. Therefore, the statement "Logs must be turned in every day to dispatch" is true.

If you are pulled over, you should be able to show 8 days of logs.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
When driving a commercial vehicle, it is a legal requirement to keep a logbook or log sheet to record your driving hours and rest periods. These logs are used to ensure compliance with regulations regarding maximum driving hours and minimum rest periods. If you are pulled over by law enforcement, they may ask to see your logbook to verify that you have been following the rules. Therefore, it is important to have at least 8 days' worth of logs available to show if requested. This ensures that you have a sufficient record of your driving activities to prove your compliance with the regulations.

It is important for the driver to have easy access to important paperwork such as logs, insurance documents, and inspection books.

Explanation
An intrastate driver must be off duty for 8 consecutive hours to reset their on-duty day.

This allows them to have sufficient rest and ensure compliance with regulations regarding driving hours and fatigue management.

Logs should be done in ______________ ink.
- A.
  
  Black
- B.

Correct Answer
A. Black

Explanation
Logs should be done in black ink because traditionally, black ink has been used for official and legal documents. Black ink is also more visible and legible, making it easier to read and understand the information written on the logs. Additionally, black ink is more resistant to fading and smudging over time, ensuring that the logs remain clear and legible for future reference.

Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
This statement is true because if there is a blank line on a log, it means that some important information is missing and needs to be filled out before the log is submitted to dispatch. Filling out all the required information ensures that the log is complete and accurate, allowing for proper record-keeping and analysis.

- B.
  
  True

This helps in maintaining a record of all inspections conducted, which can be useful for regulatory compliance purposes, monitoring vehicle maintenance, and identifying any potential issues or patterns that may require attention. By flagging these inspections on a log, it becomes easier to track and review the history of inspections, making it an important practice for ensuring the safety and proper functioning of vehicles.

All changes of duty status must be flagged on a log, with city and state written.

This is important for keeping track of the driver's activities and ensuring compliance with regulations.

Rate this question:

Well-site delay must be marked on line 1 and line 5.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because the passage clearly states that well-site delay must be marked on line 1 and line 5. This means that any delay that occurs at the well-site needs to be recorded on both line 1 and line 5.

Rate this question:
13.

If you only mark well-site delay on line #1, you should be off the clock.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
If you only mark well-site delay on line #1, it means that you are only recording delays that occur at the well-site on the first line of the form. In this case, if you mark well-site delay only on line #1, it implies that you are not required to record any additional delays that may occur elsewhere. Therefore, if you follow this specific instruction, you should be off the clock, meaning that you are not required to work or be on duty during those delays.

Rate this question:

Well-site delay means that we can drive more hours in a 12-hour on-duty period.
- A.
  
  True

Lines 1, 2, 3 and 4 on a log must add up to 24 hours.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because if lines 1, 2, 3, and 4 on a log add up to 24 hours, it means that the log is accurately recording the passage of time. The total of 24 hours ensures that all the time intervals are accounted for and there are no discrepancies in the log.

Rate this question:
17.

On letter A(total hours on duty last 7 days including today), you must put the total of line 3(drive time) and line 4(on-duty time)
- A.
  
  True
- B.

Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The correct answer is true because when calculating the total hours on duty for the last 7 days, including today, you need to add the drive time (line 3) and the on-duty time (line 4) together. This will give you the accurate total for letter A.
