Line 3 is driving,since you are clearly not driving if you are cooking in the sleeper then yes they can give you a violation for that.

Rev:

The only activity that the FMCSA regulates in regards to the sleeper berth is repeated interruptions by the motor carrier. Otherwise, they do not regulate what you do in the sleeper berth. Any time not on line 3 or 4 is considered "resting" time. You are associating "resting" with "sleeping". The FMCSA makes no such distinction.
IMHO the reason why the interuption affects the SB time is because typically the driver must exit the SB to read or answer the messages on the messagoing service.

Mike3fan:

sleeper berth is a location not an activity.as long as you are not doing paperwork or other job related activities in the sleeper berth then it is logged on line 2
I agree with the portion underlined.

There would have to be a video or multiple witnesses to allocate the drver was in the cab (not SB) or doing other functions. I cannot tell you how many times drivers have been cited for false logs when they logged SB with fuel receipts or toll receipts indicating they were else where. The driver may have been able to have logged off-duty as they were between loads; however, you cannot drive from the SB.

Be safe.

Only had to ask yourself, eh? I'm surprised you could interpret your own answer. :lol2:
