You (The Driver) don't get to decide.

That activity is to be logged on line 4 (on duty, not driving). Bet it has never netted anyone a ticket, though.

 

are you serious? i am sure they will cover this in school, but if i want to give my truck a quick cleaning while i am at home on a day or two off, i sure as heck aren't going to log it as 'on duty'.

 

Congratulations!!
You, sir are on your way to "Lifestyler" status!

You will fit right in at the Truckstop lunch counter, no doubt telling tales of "How I Told That DOT Man What the Law Really Was!", and other such stories of truckdriving lore!

P.S.

Don't forget to placard your shirt!

 

I wouldn't either.

But, in the event of an accident the DOT can, and will, check all of your receipts against your logbook, as will an attorney for any injured partys. And should a company required truck wash be logged on other than line 4, you are going to be in trouble.

 

Not trying to start an argument here, just curious, if i am off for 2 days, say sunday and monday, and monday morning i go out and give my truck a wash in the parking lot i keep it at next to my house, how will i have any receipts?

 

true....say...one more post, and i get to PM people.

 

Who does timtruck work for to make a 1000 a weak and home every day and weakend

 

Who really cares. Just hope that never loses his nice kooshie job. I am not one to say what he is saying is true or not. If he can make that, great. But i'm not wasting anymore time on that guy. has not posted anything on here worth while to read.
