    So do I have to go on duty to change my duty status to off duty when exiting the sleeper berth? :biggrin_2559:

    I know right? It's just so petty that it's ridiculous.

    I guess I did cook my own goose. But that's because I didn't see a reason to have to lie. This has NEVER EVER been an issue before. I guess with all these companies going to EOBRs now, they don't have as many log book violations any more so they have go after the chickenspit violations they can pull out of their #####. Next time my logs are looked at my mouth is shut.

    Where? In the link I provided that's where. It very clearly states that drivers cannot log off duty while in the bunk. It really doesn't get simpler than that. The DOT says you can't do it. Period.

    Eactly where is the Needles CHP Inspection or do you mean the Bug Check at the border. There is sometimes a CHP there doing random, but the one that everyone talks to is Dept of Ag not CHP, by the way. They may have told him to go into town and get a tire.

    I have had them release me to go take care of a leaking air bag. If that would have been a normal scale house like Tehachapi or Banning then he would have sit till the tireman showed up. Why would you rat out another driver, just to be a grekin,
