    What happens when during the post crash investigation, you showed 10 straight hours in the sleeper but the financial forensics detective sees you made a purchase on your debit card during time you had logged sleeper?

    It doesn't even matter that it was the other person's fault, or even act of god, you falsified a federal document my friend, you're gong to San Quentin electric chair with Scott Peterson.

    Well the company im leased to is dumb, technically we dont even need to log. I guess its so if they get an audit it looks pretty?

    show me where in the regs that it says you MUST BE IN THE SLEEPER FOR 10 HOURS DOING ABSOUTELY NOTHING BUT SLEEPING.

    that isn't going to happen to ANYBODY. sleeper birth is time off just like off duty. what i do with my time is MY TIME. if i want to fuel. eat. shower or buy something with my credit card. there ain't a darn anything any lawyer can do. the rules state a 10 hour break. and that's all your obliged to do. if you sit in the sleeper and can't sleep. really nothing anyone can do. cuz you did what the regs state.

    course. i'd hope one would be smart enough as to figure out a back up plan and not force themselve to drive a whole shift when they couldn't sleep during there break.


    but nowhere is it against the law that i can't buy something during my sleeper break. and as long as that time stamp is within the timefram of my sleeper birth. ain't a darn thing ANY lawyer can do. cuz i'm right where i'm supposed to be.

    SO CRASH AWAY. i did nothing wrong.

    and for the record. i usually DO buy something after i've parked. not all the time do i IMMEDIATELY crawl back to bed.

    it was once asked if it ALL had to be logged. and the scale said if it's less then 15 minutes. you can flag. not log. but that's your decision.

    we're only looking for 15 minute increments or longer.
