The easiest way to think about it is this...."is it compensated time....are you being paid?"
If you're getting paid for whatever you're doing, you have to log it. If not, you don't.

If an O/O logged on duty for EVERYTHING we do at home pertaining to the business, we wouldn't have a business anymore...

My point exactly.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
Ok so here’s a scenario
hypothetically speaking I walk in to my shop I need to put a clutch in my truck
Things don’t go as planed and it takes 18 hrs to R&R the clutch and rear main seal
1st question is if I’am going to play by the rules Am I suppose to start logging “ On Duty but not driving ) the min I walk in the shop? 2nd Q is according to the DOT I can only be on duty for a max of 14 hrs before I have to take a 10 hr off duty correct ?
So does that mean I need to stop after I have 14 hrs in this project wait 10 hrs before starting on this project again ?
3nd question is does anybody really think I or anybody else does ?
Wait for it HELL NO
1 more question does anybody log ON Duty But Not Driving when they are polishing there truck ?

Second, if you're polishing YOUR truck on YOUR time, it does not apply.
