I work for a small carrier in maine, driving is not my primary function but I do some driving and need to be able to drive on an as needed basis. I typically am within the 100 mile exemption, but because it is interstate freight and I am over the threshold of 9 days per month I run a full log, paper logs here still.
My question is if I were to volunteer with the local fire department is that considered logable hours? I believe they are paid a stipend at the end of the year, so I think it would be but was looking for any one that has encountered this situation. Thanks

I know after some fires I was pretty wiped out and would be in no condition to drive so common sense is required. Now whether I logged it or not? I plead the 5th.

Just remember that in the case of an accident its gonna be real easy for lawyers to find out that had another job and were not logging it. Then your in hot water.

They consider any secondary job to be logged on line 4. On Duty/Not Driving.

Compensated work must be logged... if the work is voluntary then It is not logged
