You (The Driver) don't get to decide.
That activity is to be logged on line 4 (on duty, not driving). Bet it has never netted anyone a ticket, though.

are you serious? i am sure they will cover this in school, but if i want to give my truck a quick cleaning while i am at home on a day or two off, i sure as heck aren't going to log it as 'on duty'.

You, sir are on your way to "Lifestyler" status!
You will fit right in at the Truckstop lunch counter, no doubt telling tales of "How I Told That DOT Man What the Law Really Was!", and other such stories of truckdriving lore!
P.S.
Don't forget to placard your shirt! -
But, in the event of an accident the DOT can, and will, check all of your receipts against your logbook, as will an attorney for any injured partys. And should a company required truck wash be logged on other than line 4, you are going to be in trouble.Last edited: Jul 5, 2008

Don't expect a response on this one. If he felt inclined to mention that we all may wind up there. Well, not me anyway. I'm happy where i'm at.
