logging questions
I am an owner operator. My question is this: If my truck is at home waiting for a brake job. I leave in my pickup truck to go get new brakes. Do I log the time to get the brakes as on duty not driving or as driving time? I don't know because i'm not driving the tractor trailer but i am driving! Any info would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Line 3 is for driving the CMV only. Any work you do to the CMV is line 4.

Come on driver, you are going to do this logging thing the right way? We have to follow the OOIDA mantra of log it 100% legal 24/7, it will change the system. Don't you believe it?

It would be off duty, however when working on your truck at home it is technically ON-DUTY (line 4). CrAzY I know!

You can use your tractor for personal use if you would like (wouldn't suggest it with diesel prices

You was in your personal car and no one knows you was going to get the part.

Now if you are working on your truck then DOT states that means you are getting your truck in readiness to work "which is line 4 (on-duty not driving).

Not that I condone this, but who knows you are working on your truck while you are in your garage? Well is DOT/COP sitting outside your house?

The problem I do see is an example like this:

A driver goes home and starts working on his truck, he is working away for 10 hours (throwing wrench's, tools etc. l.o.l.)) and he now gets a load to pick up from his dispatcher. The dispatcher says you have been off 10 hours so go pick it up (forced dispatch) and you say no I can't I have been up working on my truck. Well you are being the "politcal" correct person and the dsipatcher is allowing you to run illegal.

Sometimes the regulations is there to help protect teh driver himself/herself.
