Was told u can get a violation for logging sleeper time as off duty. That’s just pathetic honestly. I had a dot officer try to give me a violation once for leaving it on sleeper when I did hometime once. Which is someone understandable but is still petty as ####. I couldn’t stand that ####er. People like that make the world suck. If you are a dot officer and you give people violations for #### like that you’re just a loser.
Logging Sleeper/off duty, can I get a violation?

This is why there should not be separate lines for Sleeper Berth and Off Duty.
If you're not on duty then you're not on duty, plain and simple. It doesn't matter whether you're sleeping in the sleeper or at home in your own bed.Mattmanstroked, Trucker61016, Jeffery Epstein and 10 others Thank this. -
It's a pretty simple rule. Inside the truck = sleeper. Outside of the truck = off duty.

Technically if you’re behind the imaginary line where the curtains hang, log sleeper. If you’re in passenger seat in a parked truck, or outside of truck, it’s off duty. And all time even sitting in driver seat is legally supposed to either be logged as on duty or driving. And yes I agree it’s a load of manure lol
