Are hotels required for day cab driven OTR

where is psanderson or dieselbear on this one?

 

Probably like me. The answer is moot since he does not work there anymore.

You cannot sleep in a car that is being hauled. It is considered freight. You also cannot sleep in the cab. A hotel/motel receipt is needed to support the off duty status.

 

RoadMedic is right. Even hot shotters have to have a DOT acceptable sleeper on their one tons. Will try to find reg. Boss needs to spring for room or modify truck.

 

Still has me wondering. I remember there being something about it, but I keep coming up empty handed looking through the FMCSR's.

 

I was thinking the same thing as I was reading. lol

 

Only a couple of weeks and $100. Not too bad. Later, QD.

 

Took a month or so for my back ground check. But that was through a holiday so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.

 

Gotcha! That could be it. I did my background/fingerprint and had my letter in hand inside of a week. I was surprised.

 

No, you can say where you stayed. You could also tell them you slept in the flying j tv room. Fell asleep watfching tv. Happens to you when you are at home too.

Spent the night at a cousins. Spent the night at a new girl friends.
