Lyft on resets?

That's... your time.

If you asked me about your log book 70 hours I tell you what part of off duty do you not understand?

Then after some thought, if you really wanted to be legal, you run the logbook under yourself as a O/O in a car to Lyft or something, fill out the Lyft hours consumed in delivering paying customers and fill out the home ternimal or dispatching location of Lyft in the upper right of the paper logs and continue on.

Both logs will eat away at your 70 hours.

I rather just say Off duty from trucking company to drive a personal car for money at home? That's not work... not to me.

I am somewhat worried at what is coming when there is enough of those for hire uber, lyft etc all over the place to really make a tired work force unable to do the new 70 hour work week in a semi truck with laws not yet rewritten to clarify this brave new world of hire cars.

One point.

here in Arkansas people in the state house started making noises that people without a CDL and running for UBER are not legal to run for Uber as commerical drivers. Eventually that CDL in your pocket will be your only defense being able to transport paying passengers in your lyft car.

 

I used to do that, but quit a few years ago. Made money but at the time was running two logs and just didn't have the energy to keep it up. My wife does it now and does real well. She was doing it before I met her.

 

Easy to get into?

 

Yes, easy to get into. Google : day trading for beginners

 

Cool. Thanks man. Always looking to get more money in my pocket.

 

Learn how to play craps and take your breaks at casinos. I've made more $ gambling in an hour several times than I have in a week of driving and putting up with all this crap

 

Had a friend get kicked out of a casino for card counting once. Does that count?


I'm more of a poker guy

 

What the hell, already giving life up to the road. May as well go all in!!

 

Drive on your days off from driving? umm i'm sure the last thing truck drivers think of on a break is a side gig driving more.

 

Even if you are using your car to earn money like with Lyft, Uber, deliver pizzas, I don't believe it meets the definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV). Therefore, it is not subject to the Hours Of Service (HOS) rules (logs).

What’s the Definition of a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)?
The definition of “commercial motor vehicle” differs, depending on the part of the regulations being referenced. The general definition is found in 390.5 of the FMCSA. This definition refers to a vehicle used on highways, in interstate commerce, that meets one of the following criteria:

• Has a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross combination weight rating (GCWR), or gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight of 10,001 pounds or more, whichever is greater;
• Is designed to transport more than 8 passengers (including the driver) for compensation;
• Is designed to transport 16 or more people including the driver, and is not used to transport passengers for compensation; or
• Is transporting hazardous materials in quantities requiring the vehicle to be placarded.

The regulations in Parts 390 through 396 apply to drivers of vehicles meeting this definition. That includes driver qualification, hours of service, and inspection and maintenance requirements, among others.

A different definition of “commercial motor vehicle” is used for Parts 382 and 383. These parts regulate the commercial driver’s license (CDL) and alcohol and drug testing. This definition refers to a vehicle used in commerce – whether interstate or intrastate – that meets one of the following criteria:

• Has a GCWR or gross combination weight of 26,001 pounds or more, whichever is greater, inclusive of a towed unit(s) with a GVWR or gross vehicle weight of more than 10,000 pounds, whichever is greater;
• Has a GVWR or gross vehicle weight of 26,001 pounds or more, whichever is greater;
• Is designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver; or
• Is of any size and is used in the transportation of hazardous materials.*

*Hazardous materials means any material that has been designated as hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and is required to be placarded under subpart F of 49 CFR part 172 or any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR part 73.
