Exactly...no violation for being on line 4 past the 14th hour. However, if the D&H was more than 2 hours into the break, he wouldn't have to do a FULL 10 hours....just show 15 minutes D&H and then to the sleeper for 8 hours, then remember that you've only got 13:45 hours available the next day....or if you've already been in the sleeper for 8 hours, do the D&H and either go off duty or back to the sleeper for 2 more hours....but your 14 for the day started with the D&H, so when you start rolling again you've only got 11:45 available before you'll have to be back in the sleeper for your next break. How you play it depends upon where you need to be and when you need to be there.

Look at http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=395.2
"Driving time means all time spent at the driving controls of a commercial motor vehicle in operation."

I consider Line 3 time to be spent on tax paid roads not so much private property.

scottied67, otherhalftw and airforcetoo Thank this.

Depending on the company and their logging procedure/policy, some say 15 minutes drop/unload, some want another 15 if you hook after you drop. It is a big reason to understand the wants and requirements of the company you are driving for.
Company policy is like comparing a State regulation to a Federal regulation....the company/State can be more strict, but not reduce the Fed requirements.Autocar and airforcetoo Thank this. -
I just hit the "On Duty" button on the computer screen and keep my speed under 10mph

Now specifically:
1. Line 3, driving; FMCSA defines "driving" to "at the controls of a commercial motor vehicle in operation"...it does not indicate any difference between "public" or "private" property or roadways. http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regu...sr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=395.2&keyword=395.2
2. Log times drop-hook-positioning; That is not addressed by FMCSA but left to the discretion/policy of the carrier and the carriers requirements of the driver.

Again...over-regulated without defining definition.....i.e., wide open for "interpretation" by any authorized agent of FMCSA and/or DOT State or Fed!airforcetoo, Meltom, Scalemaster and 1 other person Thank this.
