Confused on hos on if you sleep in your truck and start driving it starts your 14 hours. But what about for locals? Like say i drive 30 mins to work then my truck isn't ready but i have a 9 hour drive to the destination and back. Why does me waiting at a dc not start the clock?
Confused about hos for "locals".

Driving to get your truck with a personal vehicle is personal conveyance and is not recorded. Your 14 hour day doesnt begin until you are on company property and or signed in (unless using a time card)

Hell, being local is as simple as it gets. I’m a Mon - Fri driver. Get in my truck and 6:00 am or so and usually home by 3:00 - 4:00.
I log on duty when I get in my truck and it stays there (or on the drive line) all day until I park.
Easy as it gets!gentleroger, Kyle G., Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this. -
From 395.2 Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR)
On-duty time means all time from the time a driver begins to work or is required to be in readiness to work until the time the driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work. On-duty time shall include:
(1) All time at a plant, terminal, facility, or other property of a motor carrier or shipper, or on any public property, waiting to be dispatched, unless the driver has been relieved from duty by the motor carrier;
Now, of course, there is the bit about being relieved from duty by the motor carrier. That has to be true, not just claimed. I.E. if you can't go to the restaurant down the road and grab breakfast if you wanted to, it doesn't count.
As for commute, that's not counted ever. Either in a pov for locals or even in a cmv for the otr guys. -

You know, just like the regs I posted states. -

My hunch is the OP wants to use the driving from home to work as time on duty. Good luck on that.Rideandrepair and ZVar Thank this.
