Never Sign a Log Page Until It's Completed!
Why is that? Please explain.
Because when you sign you certify that all entries are true and correct. If you
have lied (now who would do anything like that?) or made and inadvertant false
entry, the cop can't cite you for falsifiying your log book. Usually a much steeper fine than being behind or not having a log book.
HOWEVER, this does not apply if you run Canada, when driving in Canada, you MUST sign the log book at the beginning of the day. $300.00 fine for not doing
this.
In addition, if you look at the DOT hand book, it says, and I have seen this with my own eyes, that if your log book is behind, but you are current to the previous six days, you MUST be given the opportunity to bring it up to date. Look it up in your own DOT rule book so you know it is there and can use it if
you need it. Don't let some prick cop BS you on this point.
Can I be given a penalty for not going back in my logbook if employer asks me to do this? Dot audit due in tomorrow. They want me to BACK DATE my log book. I didn't drive during the period they want me to backdate.

IANAL but I think you could be find for an out-of-date loge, which is
supposed top reflect your status correctly, whether you drive or not.
(The first full day of no driving can show the range of dates you were
idle.)

Chuck,Chuck,Chuck......Where in the heck do you come up with all these ideas??? You are so full of S___ I had to go out to the barn to get a
shovel. All I will say is this!!! Read 395.8 (d) (5) of FMCSR, if you know what that is? And it clearly states that if you do what you just stated, I as a Law enforcement official could charge you with I Quote from section 395.8 (e) Failure to complete the record of duty activities of these
sections and or making false reports in connection with such duty activities shall make the Driver and or the Carrier liable to Prosecution. If you are going to give advice, at least do your homework first!! Laws are not
thought up as you go along!!
That is all I have to say about that Issue.

Oh really! ??
So an officer asks to see my logbook at, say, 1500 hours. I have it >completed current to my last change of duty status at, say 1300 hours
when I came off of lunch break. Complete with my signature where is is >required to be. There are no entried after 1300 hours .. the time of
my last change of duty. My signature denotes that I attest to the
accuracy of all entries on that sheet.
Now where are all these false entries that he's gonna cite me for?
There are none.
What are the fines for log book violations, are they the same nationwide or do
they vary by state? Is there a difference in fines for not having a log book at
all and not being up to date with the log book? When pulled over and not up to
date, do they allow the driver a certain amount of time to update his log book
before a ticket is issued? Does it make a difference if the log book page for that date is signed by the driver, even if the log for that day is not up to date?
