Hours of service questions and answers

Hey y'all; i was talking with an owner op and he said that he shows all his time not working as off duty and doesn't show sleeper time. Is this legal?

 

Lines 1 and 2 in the log book are both off-duty. Line 2 is off-duty in the sleeper, line 1 is off-duty everywhere else.

It may not be illegal to show sleeper time as line 1 off-duty, but it is more beneficial to show it as sleeper, you can use the split sleeper option to get your 10 hours off using one portion of time as 8 or more hours in the sleeper.

 

It still confuses me. If you only get the hours that were left to drive from the previous period, how would you have any left at the end of the second day?

 

Im hereing that as of may 17th that all local drivers will be required to keep a daily log, can someone please tell me if this is indeed true ? I have looked through the reg and cannot find any clear answers.

 

We log and are paid by the hour.
Some drivers are logging off duty time at stops. Several hours at a time. We are paid for these hours and have no letter releasing us from duty.
Is logging like this going to cause audit problems?

 

2 seperate bras ? Did I stumble on the cross dressing drivers thread ?
You need to get updated on the off duty definition.Drivers may now log off duty in a nonmoving CMV.
