Driveaway "On duty not driving" question

So if you log off duty, get on a plane then try to log back on duty 400 miles away from where you logged off duty , how would you explain that time spent as anything other than " being in readiness & preparing to go to work or being at work..the work it takes to get to your next load.if you work at burger king on sundays you must log that as on duty...

 

Try these from the Regs.

Question 14: How must a Commercial Motor Vehicle CMV driver driving a non-Commercial Motor Vehicle CMV at the direction of a motor carrier record this time?
Guidance: If Commercial Motor Vehicle CMV drivers operate motor vehicles with Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)s of 10,000 pounds or less at the direction of a motor carrier, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires those drivers to maintain records of duty status and record such time operating as on-duty (not driving).


Question 24: If a driver is transported by automobile from the point of a breakdown to a terminal, and then dispatched on another run, how is the time spent in the automobile entered on the record of duty status? How is the time entered if the driver goes off-duty once he reaches the terminal?
Guidance: The time spent in the automobile would be on-duty (not driving) if dispatched on another run once he/she reaches the terminal, and off-duty if he/she is given 8 consecutive hours off-duty upon reaching the terminal.
I don't believe there would be any difference between a plane and an automoblie.

 

Thank you!

 

ESPECIALLY since the dispatcher has relieved you of duty!!

 

"Under dispatch" is rather ambiguous: if I'm given a load at 5pm for the next day I'm "under dispatch" but it doesn't keep me from going home and logging off-duty for the night. If you're not getting paid for traveling to the next pick-up I'd say you're off duty, just be mindful of the 14-hour rule.
