I used to drive local during the day from 7-4, and delivered pizza in the evening for pocket money.
Interestingly enough, they had a guy at the pizza shop before me who was also a garbage truck driver during the day. Apparently he was going to be late one day because he was still on his route, and the pizza manager told him to be there or be fired.
Figuring he was fired either way, he evidently showed up in the garbage truck, complete with the helpers, parked on the side of the building, and made his first pizza delivery of the day in the truck. He was promptly fired.
Anyone else work another job while trucking?

If you drive a commercial vehicle and have another job on the side you must show your hours at your other job on your log book.
You are required to report all hours you are compensated for.
Chances are you are in violation of your hours of service.Criminey Jade Thanks this. -
Respectfully,so what,lol.

Wow it is interesting to see you guys deliver pizza as I briefly had the same idea. My car just sits in the garage now.
Actually that is true. I was surprised when I learned about that in orientation class. It makes sense, if we work hard during our off time, we can still be tired when it comes time to start driving again. I do some coding when I am already on duty while waiting to get unloaded in the break room. -
I believe you that this is some type of ''law''...But i really need to see this one first hand...I need a good laugh..
