First day on a truck after been off for weeks, my partner was driving n i was n the sleeper for 4hrs n we stop for rest room break. So i put myself off duty break n it said i violated the passenger rule. I never had this happen before. So what is this rule?
Passenger rule?

The passenger rule says that you can be riding in a moving CMV in the passengers seat off duty for up to two hours immediately before or after at least 8 hours line 2. If you didn't have any off duty in a moving CMV (including before you went to line 2) then you didn't violate the rule.

Plus, you can leave the sleeper to go to the restroom without going off line two. DOT has stated they don't expect or want drivers to have to change duty status just for a call of nature.
