Look at my second quote. It is not what some friend told you but what is written by the FMCSA.
Driving back to the yard he was still on duty. -

Hours of service of drivers
[h=3]§395.8 Driver's record of duty status.[/h]
........
Question 26: If a driver is permitted to use a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) for personal reasons, how must the driving time be recorded?
Guidance: When a driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work, time spent traveling from a drivers home to his/her terminal (normal work reporting location), or from a drivers terminal to his/her home, may be considered off-duty time. Similarly, time spent traveling short distances from a drivers en route lodgings (such as en route terminals or motels) to restaurants in the vicinity of such lodgings may be considered off-duty time. The type of conveyance used from the terminal to the drivers home, from the drivers home to the terminal, or to restaurants in the vicinity of en route lodgings would not alter the situation unless the vehicle is laden.
A driver may not operate a laden CMV as a personal conveyance. The driver who uses a motor carriers Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) for transportation home, and is subsequently called by the employing carrier and is then dispatched from home, would be on-duty from the time the driver leaves home.
A driver placed out of service for exceeding the requirements of the hours of service regulations may not drive a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) to any location to obtain rest. -

The law defines actual physical control as being in or upon a vehicle. Look it up.
