Paper log & relieve Driver question.

You're right. Team logging he has to show sleeper berth, but his day cab doesn't have a sleeper berth.

 

The releaf driver actually needs to log on duty (not driving) on the trip to pick up the truck.
The op can go off duty while waiting on the releaf driver, but will need to go on duty (not driving) for the drive back.

This is because both of the drivers are moving at the direction of the motor carrier

Now this does assume the releaf driver is driving a non-cmv (pick up, car, etc) and the op os told to drive the car back.

 

Dont worry about the other driver.
You log on duty not driving from the time you stopped driving untill you are back into the yard, finished paperwork, then you go off clock just before you walk out door to your vehicle.

 

Close but not exactly right. Yes, the relief driver needs to be logged on-duty not driving while being transported to recovery the truck. The OP cn be logged off-duty as soon as he parks, and as long as he is given a full ten hour break upon returning to the terminal he can show the entire time travelling at the discretion of the motor carrier (riding with the office person) as off-duty. This is quite common in the driveway segment where drivers use their personal cars, buses, planes and such to get from truck to truck.


395.1 (j) Travel time—(1) When a property-carrying commercial motor vehicle driver at the direction of the motor carrier is traveling, but not driving or assuming any other responsibility to the carrier, such time must be counted as on-duty time unless the driver is afforded at least 10 consecutive hours off duty when arriving at destination, in which case he/she must be considered off duty for the entire period.

 

On your paper log, there’s a spot for CO-Driver’s name. When you get stopped, you flag your location of stopping and then go sleeper. He comes in 4 hours later and he will log on duty pre trip and do his 4 hour drive back to the terminal. When you get back to the terminal, flag the location on your log but then draw your line from sleeper to off duty.

 

He was in a daycab, relief driver was driven to him and he road back to the terminal with someone from the office. If he had a sleeper, absolutely correct.

 

Missed the daycab part. Thanks.
