When stuck waiting at a dock...

Isn't anything related to the job supposed to be logged on duty?

 

Is he paid hourly? I have 2 status working not working. Where the elog draws the lines doesn't matter.

 

Short answer: The people who wrote the new HOS are completely and utterly insane.

 

No. No it does not.

 

his company has read the FMCSA motor carrier regulations and is instructing him to follow them as well.

if your company doesn't care then I guess it's only illegal if you get caught by a DOT officer who also knows what the regulations say and cares to enforce them. This may or may not ever happen.

 

Lol i didnt realize anybody actually would log onduty except for 15 minutes and hows a dot cop gonna prove you werent sleeping or in a lunch room taking a break?

 

I am usually eating, performing bathroom functions, or walking my dog. How could any of that be considered on duty time?

 

I have worked for companies that have in the Permit book a letter stating to log 15 min then go off duty and it has been given approval from the FMSCA.

 

you-you outlaw
