I NEED A JOB!!!!!!

You have to be off ten and log eight in sleeper?????? Right?

 

You can be in the passenger seat, stop spreading mistruths.

 

Not a mis truth. Maybe different now. But yes i was cited for not being listed as on duty not driving. My book said sleeper, he said you need to be in the sleeper. Happened. Dont care what you say. Wasnt you

 

It seems like I read that you could be in the passenger seat 1 hour before and 1 hour after going on and off duty.
And it seemed like hat was a new-ish rule....
I don't know where I read that, I'll try and get a link....

Or.... I'm miss-remembering what I read. Quite possible.

 

Mine was better than 11 years ago, so it may have changed.

 

Your 10 hours off duty may begin/and or end in the passenger seat and is limited to 1 hour before and after 8 consecutive hours of sleeper berth:

Possibly the most entertaining post on ttr. With the exception of the cat that has no interest in driving a truck because he's too busy being successful at his other business but wants to buy a trucking company. Using a cheese grater for nefarious self-abusing purposes comes to mind as an alternate activity. That being said, hang in there T. I firmly believe that success in trucking, as in anything, comes down to your dedication to the process and keeping your mind engaged positively.

 

My mind went 20 different directions reading this thread. And that's before I got to the back shaving part.

 

Wow. And my DOT registered chiropractor guy didn't pass me because I have to prove I'm not narco-leptic. Where's my easy med card? Can you please tell me who that guy was who approved your card cuz I need to meet that dude.

 

Your original statement was you got a ticket for "sitting in the passenger seat", when in actuality you got one for sitting in the passenger seat when your log said you were in the sleeper. So I stand by my "Mistruth" statement.
