Sleeping setup in your pickup.

What section does it specify off duty can be int he back of your pick up truck?

 

Do you not know how to navigate the industry standard for regulation affirmation? Yet your trying to "school" me?

 

Where does it say it can't? You are off duty, and not driving, therefore it qualifies...nothing anywhere defines off duty other than not driving....so please show me your reg that tells me I can be off duty in my truck, or a casino, or the drivers lounge....
Nowhere in the regs says the driver HAS to SLEEP in a HOTEL of at a FRIENDS, and provide proof of sleep...it says you must be OFF DUTY, meaning not driving, and not working on the truck...that's all...nothing more, nothing less.

 

I think this is what you are looking for. It is from JJ Keller who am pretty sure we can all agree knows what they are talking about. After all, they did write the FMCSA. For those not wanting to read what you are looking for is the top of page 24 listed under "Other CMV Time". It states that
"Resting in or on a parked CMV, as long as you have no responsibilities or obligations to the company." is listed as Off Duty. We all know that when you get 10 hours of Off Duty time you can drive again.

Case closed....thanks tanhands

 

if i argue any more, the mods are gonna kick me out.....so im leaving this tread....but before i go, none of you have looked at the definition of duty. Technicaly the back of your truck is a passenger seat and new regs say you cant spend more then 2 hours off duty in the passenger seat during your break.

 

Who said anything about that... Your original argument was that you could not claim off duty without sleeper berth for 10 hours, and you have to have a sleeper or a hotel....both of which are untrue...now your grasping for strings...I have no back seat at all...no regulation sleeper, but no seat...how does that classify as the passenger seat? The passenger seat and 2 hr rule is for team drivers...

Anyhow, bye bye now maybe you learned something today...but probably not
