Driver's Vehicle Inspection Report and Peoplenet

Do you ever click/tap "On-Duty" during traffic or back ups?
I've noticed I can go 2 or 3 miles before the "On Duty-Driving" notification shows up on screen.
I realize I might be pressing the issue, but I'd like to make money while I'm stuck in a truck. Have any of you had issues/big friggin' DOT fines for doing this?


Thanks for all of the replies, everyone. I appreciate it.

 

Dang.
I knew it was too good to be true when I got through Orlando in 3 minutes..
At least I wasn't bored.


edit:
Another thought.......
What if I was an LTL driver and had multiple drops/pick ups within a 3-mile area?
Would it be worthwhile to tap "On Duty" when I stop each time?
I'm thinking I could make money and not be speeding.
I'm not worried, as a new company driver, about mileage, yet.
I think I get paid to deliver freight.

Mileage will, hopefully, be my base pay.



It could take hours to load and unload. But, I might only lose ON DUTY hours vs. driving hours if I used it sparingly.

Am I right?

 

Thanks.
I'll get $16 per stop, minimum, and .38 per mile. I'll get additional .04 above VA/MD border and additional .04 for HazMat and additional , etc. It's a pretty good company, from what I can tell. Bank of America sucks in comparison.
I'm thinking I'll be ok. Approx. $1300 last week, net.
So far, so good; right?

 

Haha. Ok. Where did the 400 mile route come from? I've had several 400+/- days. But, I've yet to see a 400 mile paycheck. What gives?

 

I hear ya. I know you can't do a full pretrip in 5-15 minutes. It took me almost 45 minutes when I was in school. They taught me how the truck works and what to look for. It wouldn't be very cost-effective for a carrier that needs me to drive 11 every day. But, I learned a whole lot. I'd recommend that place to any other accountant/white collar punk that doesn't know what trucking involves. Good people over there.
I don't expect to slip-seat at this company.
Thanks for your response.
I'm just asking. However, I'm not going to log a "real" pretrip and lose on duty or driving hours again. How can they prove when I physically inspected my CMV? I'm all about being a company driver/representing my company well. But, I'm not interested in giving money away.
Where'd you read the "full 15 minute" rule/legislation? That might ruin best laid plans.
Thanks, man.
