    Not really. Read the regulations. They are quite clear on the definitions for each duty status. You either log it as defined by the regulations, or you are falsifying the log. There is nothing subjective about it, you either falsified or you did not. The only subjective thing about it is in the form of officer discretion...how strictly are they going to enforce the regulations. Are they "letter of the law" as in the OP's case? Or are they willing to let slide a seemingly insignificant falsification which would not affect the driver's HOS had it been logged correctly?

    Is there a regulation that states you cannot log off-duty while in the sleeper berth? Technically, you can be on-duty while also in the sleeper berth. Why can't you be off-duty while in the sleeper berth?

    I'd data-Q that one. The inspector is an idiot.

    Read the thread, or better 395. It's been answered multiple times.
    Yes, the regs specifically state sb is to be logged while in the sb.

    Please show me the regulation that requires the driver to provide any sort of supporting documentation for off-duty time?

    So now we are changing the goalpost. Gotcha.
    Not worth responding to as the regs have already been quoted here.

    It's not hard to comply with my request, and they haven't been quoted in this thread. You're FOS.

    I asked for the reg that said the driver had to provide supporting documentation. 395.11(c) only applies to the motor carrier, not the driver.
