What duty status are you when you back into a dock?

where is it written if you've been off for 10, you must be in the sleeper for 8 of them?.

 

Law changed last week, sitting up front is NOT on duty.

 

I saw a cop checking trucks at a truckstop near Harrisburg, PA.

 

for what? to see if they had their powerpuff girl play sets?

 

Last week, hell! It changed in February.

 

Legally if you are in the driverseat your driving.

 

Not since February, 2012. Time to catch up on the regs.

 

I don't know how this all works I drive around all day on line 4

 

line 2 and thru.

 

I tell you what I do, technically it is not 100% legal but it looks good on the logs and my paycheck.
Arrive at shipper/receiver, immediately change status on Elogs to On Duty Not Driving/Arrive for 5 minutes as I slow roll to the gate. Sometimes I park on the street for the 5 minutes and change to Off Duty for the rest of the time I am there until (un)loaded then give up another 5 minutes On Duty Not Driving before hitting the road.

If I'm driving through midnite, my first stop after midnight, I will give up 5 minutes On Duty Not Driving/Safety Check as I send in the macros detailing my yesterday's hours and daily vehicle(s) inspection reports. Usually want to show a cumulative minimum total of 30 minutes on Line 4 during the 24 hour period ending of any work day.
