Line 1 and line 2 Off duty - Sleeper Berth

[SilverWulf]

I'm sitting here in the middle of a reset and saw an accident in the parking lot not too long ago. Mr. LEO came over and asked me what I saw, I spent maybe a half hour talking to him. Not once did he ask for my log book or mention it in any way. I'll be damned if I'm going to screw up my reset by coming on duty for that time.

Just because you got away with it doesn't mean it's right, based upon the law. I'm sure most drivers would do the same thing you did.

I also had a beer last night with dinner, get over it.

Was it in your truck?

Nope, across the street at the steak house.

[Fredog]

so every minute you spent in your cab working on your truck was logged as off duty?? yea right..

Yes.

then by your own admission, you broke the law, YOU said that you cant be in your truck and be off duty, so please turn yourself in..

Sorry, I misread that. The time spent working on my truck was On Duty (not driving). I think it was the "yea right" that threw me off.

I KNEW I could trip you up if I tried hard enough

I KNEW I could trip you up if I tried hard enough

I think I will go crack open a bottle of Jack Daniels in the driver's seat of my truck now.

ROFL, how will you flag it though?

[Fredog]

ok, I'm off duty until tomorrow, but my house tv quit and I want to watch a movie. I am going to go watch it in the truck, the tv is in the sleeper, but I am going to swivel the drivers seat around and watch it from there. so, how do I log that?

According to the FMCSA regulations, On Duty (not driving).

According to Revs interpretation of the FMCSA regulations, On Duty (not driving).

G. SLEEPER BERTHS
G-1. May a driver spend part of his or her 34-hours of consecutive off-duty time in a sleeper berth?

Yes, provided the 34-hour period is consecutive and not broken by on-duty or driving activities.

On duty time means all time from the time a driver begins to work or is required to be in readiness to work until the time the driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work. On duty time shall include:

(1) All time at a plant, terminal, facility, or other property of a motor carrier or shipper, or on any public property, waiting to be dispatched, unless the driver has been relieved from duty by the motor carrier;

(2) All time inspecting, servicing, or conditioning any commercial motor vehicle at any time;

(3) All driving time as defined in the term driving time;

(4) All time, other than driving time, in or upon any commercial motor vehicle except time spent resting in a sleeper berth;

(5) All time loading or unloading a commercial motor vehicle, supervising, or assisting in the loading or unloading, attending a commercial motor vehicle being loaded or unloaded, remaining in readiness to operate the commercial motor vehicle, or in giving or receiving receipts for shipments loaded or unloaded;

(6) All time repairing, obtaining assistance, or remaining in attendance upon a disabled commercial motor vehicle;

(7) All time spent providing a breath sample or urine specimen, including travel time to and from the collection site, in order to comply with the random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, or follow-up testing required by part 382 of this subchapter when directed by a motor carrier.

(8) Performing any other work in the capacity, employ, or service of a motor carrier; and

(9) Performing any compensated work for a person who is not a motor carrier.


none of this applies to my scenario, so you are WRONG, INCORRECT, NOT RIGHT AND ALSO WRONG!!!


or maybe you are right, but either way, I aint loging it. come and get me dot

[Rev.Vassago]

(4) All time, other than driving time, in or upon any commercial motor vehicle except time spent resting in a sleeper berth;

I don't make the rules.

well, I got around it by sitting in the drivers seat of my pickup and watching the movie through the open door of the big truck. HA HA ..

and please note the first line about sleeper berth. you were wrong on that one

[Rev.Vassago]

and please note the first line about sleeper berth. you were wrong on that one

? When did I ever say anything that contradicts that?

[Fredog]

and please note the first line about sleeper berth. you were wrong on that one

? When did I ever say anything that contradicts that?

or if you are in the sleeper berth, you are logging Sleeper Berth

.

right here.

So what is incorrect about that? If you are in the sleeper berth, you need to be logging sleeper berth. Just because a 34 hour reset can be any combination of sleeper berth and off duty doesn't mean you can log off duty in the sleeper berth.


BTW, I drove my truck today. I drove 20 miles, and logged the entire thing as off duty. :wink:
