2 time logging questions

If you are relieved of duty, responsibility, etc., unladen and neither the driver nor the truck are subject to an OOS order then you can use the truck for personal conveyance, so long as you are not re-positioning for your next load and your company's policy allows personal use. Where you are in your 11/14/70 is irrelevant. It is all logged as OFF-DUTY.

 

You must return to the same location you where relieved from for this prevision to work. You can't drop a tralior and bobtail 50 miles down the road and go to walmart and not return back to original place then after your break pick up a tralior down there and continue on. And by law if your sitting in line waitting and you go over your 14 your illegal if your driving, which you would be if sitting in line. You can continue to work as long as you would like you just can't drive until your break. Also if your dispatched out of the same place and return to the same place everyday you have a 2 hour extision once a week you can use .

 

Edit, I saw after the fact lostnfound answered it.

 

Says who? Quote the FMCSR you are referring to, if you don't mind.

If you're on e-logs and you're at a Walmart DC, you will eat a violation.

On paper logs? I'm unladen and on my way to where I'm going to lodge for the night. I'll log it off duty. Well, even on e-logs, I'll place myself on line 5 off-duty driving. Many company drivers do not have this option.

Stay on the drive line while waiting in a line? Legal world, yeah. Real world? Whatever, dude.
