On duty not driving. -
Just had this arguement with one of are drivers . He hit had enough time to make it to the truck stop . 20 minutes of drive time . New York had a inspection going on in rest area . He gets stopped goes on duty cop shows 20 minute inspection shuts him down says he is in violation chz he's of his 14 hour . He's not inviolate can be on-duty for the inspection but can not drive out of rest area. So new York writes him up being over his 14 hr which is wrong cuz he can be on duty . But can't drive out of rest area .

I see NO rule that says we cannot 'PULL' the truck/trailer with another offroad implement.

My other guess is that the truck stop, legitimately, was further in realistic/legal driving time than the 20 minutes. If this was during their 65mph zone, 20 min might have been 23 miles, which would be a hair illegal.
There's probably more to the story than 'big bad inspector wrote me a ticket'. Could the inspector be incompetent, sure.
But, it still could've been argued. He should've demanded to speak to his superior.
As for on-duty driving on private property. I was always taught time at a customer was Line 4. This includes hitting a dock, swapping trailers, driver assist, checking in, etc. When I trained with CR England, we were expected to show 30-min Line 4 minimum for each stop for all of that. Not once did any officer or logging dept person say hitting a dock (even off the street) was anything other than line 4. -
