    What is the 7 minute rule? Is that cited somewhere in the FMCSA regs?

    Fifteen minutes or less can be flagged.

    Question 1: How should a change of duty status for a short period of time be shown on the driver’s record of duty status?

    Guidance: Short periods of time (less than 15 minutes) may be identified by drawing a line from the appropriate on-duty (not driving) or driving line to the remarks section and entering the amount of time, such as “6 minutes,” and the geographic location of the duty status change.
