If I'm in the sleeper, I log sleeper. Never says I have to be listening for a knock on the side of the cab.
However, I do take your point. In your scenario, I would make doubly sure I was working for a company that paid me appropriately for my time sitting. If pay was adequate, the same philosophy would apply. I worked as much as I could, made as much as I could and now I rest and relax. Same results, different path.
Getting ahead of 34hr reset, help me figure this out.

Been out here long enough to get what you mean . I ran ILLEGAL a lot, but not unsafe. I slept when I was tired and I rolled when I wasn’t. Too many cameras and electronic nanny state crap out here now to be a cowboy. I miss the old days. Just don’t want someone to get nailed by bad info.

2. You are mashing two different definitions together to get it to say what you think it says. The regs don't work that way.
3. I've been unable to find any court case where someone lost, and was not actually working.drvrtech77 and slow.rider Thank this. -
So, if you;re backed up to a dock getting (un)loaded, your commercial vehicle is parked. Therefore you may be Off Duty or Sleeper.slow.rider Thanks this. -
