Yes Fozzy I agree! The only thing I was saying is child molesters and you know murder of innocent people should be saved for Bubba (Bubba needs a break sometime).
Yeah running illegal is pretty much the same as a drunk driver I TOTALLY AGREE. They actually say when you are tired you will drive like a drunk.

I don't want to be around Bubba or well what do you call the female that takes advantage of the girl? Is there such a thing?

The "stupid DOT" regs say otherwise:

§395.2 Definitions.

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;
Question 2: What conditions must be met for a CMV driver to record meal and other routine stops made during a tour of duty as off-duty time?

Guidance: 1. The driver must have been relieved of all duty and responsibility for the care and custody of the vehicle, its accessories, and any cargo or passengers it may be carrying.

2. The duration of the driver's relief from duty must be a finite period of time which is of sufficient duration to ensure that the accumulated fatigue resulting from operating a CMV will be significantly reduced.

4. During the stop, and for the duration of the stop, the driver must be at liberty to pursue activities of his/her own choosing and to leave the premises where the vehicle is situated.
Any other "pearls of wisdom" you would like to give us? :lol: :roll:

Perhaps if you spent a little more time READING the "stupid" regs that you are trying to save us from, then you might not give out such mis-information. I will continue to call you out on this stuff, as long as you keep posting that dribble.

unless the driver has been relieved from duty by the motor carrier;

"yeah maybe you should read the Q&A to that one in the FEDERAL DOT BOOK" if I had it here I would send it to you,but I will be glad for you to do the search for me!

This is simple the company you work for should give you a card that allows all the above, oh sorry my company does!

I have read the interpretation for that, and there is no conflict with what I have posted.

Question 11: Must nontransportation-related work for a motor carrier be recorded as on-duty time?

Guidance: Yes. All work for a motor carrier, whether compensated or not, must be recorded as on-duty time. The term "work" as used in the definition of "on-duty time" in §395.2 of the FMCSRs is not limited to driving or other nontransportation-related employment.
As far as "wasting money", please enlighten us all as to how we are "wasting money" by following the letter of the law.....

And yes - I am a driver, and have proven this. My credentials are known here.

This is simple the company you work for should give you a card that allows all the above, oh sorry my company does!
There is no FMCSA regulation that requires a motor carrier to give the driver a "card" in relation to off duty time. They have the OPTION of doing so, and as a courtesy to DOT, provide a card to the driver, so they may show it to DOT in the event of a log book check.

Question 3: A driver has been given written permission by his/her employer to record meal and other routine stops made during a tour of duty as off-duty time. Is the driver required to record such time as off-duty, or is it the driver's decision whether such time is recorded as off-duty?

Guidance: It is the employer's choice whether the driver shall record stops made during a tour of duty as off-duty time. However, employers may permit drivers to make the decision as to how the time will be recorded.

I just wonder why we're getting all of this "Information" when nobody asked for it. And from a Non-Driver no less.

oh sorry my company does!

I'm SURE the Card "Your" company gives is a card relieving the driver for 1 hour for Lunch.

I've driven for three companies and have been a O/O and I've never had such a card.

Nor have I been able to find anything in the regs that addresses a card being required.

That is because there is no reg for it. It is a COMPANY policy for the company she works for, and she is trying to claim it is a REGULATION.

The closest thing in the "regs" comes from the Interpretation for Part 395: Hours of Service of Drivers which is found HERE

Question 2: What conditions must be met for a CMV driver to record meal and other routine stops made during a tour of duty as off-duty time?

Guidance: 1. The driver must have been relieved of all duty and responsibility for the care and custody of the vehicle, its accessories, and any cargo or passengers it may be carrying.

2. The duration of the driver's relief from duty must be a finite period of time which is of sufficient duration to ensure that the accumulated fatigue resulting from operating a CMV will be significantly reduced.

3. If the driver has been relieved from duty, as noted in (1) above, the duration of the relief from duty must have been made known to the driver prior to the driver's departure in written instructions from the employer. There are no record retention requirements for these instructions on board a vehicle or at a motor carrier's principal place of business.

4. During the stop, and for the duration of the stop, the driver must be at liberty to pursue activities of his/her own choosing and to leave the premises where the vehicle is situated.

There is no Reg. for it KC-It's just a THING companies hand out.
Don't really see the reason for them doing so but they do.
