    No...while on your 10-hours you are either in the sleeper and/or off-duty.

    If you have a day cab you can't log sleeper however because you don't have one. It is all line 1.

    Here's a better website. It is the Gov't. Printing Office website where all the cfr's are held. It is updated every October as mandated by law. do a web search for either the government printing office, or the code of federal regulations and find the GPO site.

    You can't do a quick search but as we've seen in your forum those quick searches have often times provided the wrong information, if you remember me going around with some drivers that did a quick search from the FMCSA website and it provided the wrong information..........remember???

    Not all companies are aware of this and it gets them, and/or their drivers into trouble. To that end, and from a personal perspective, it is unwise to give bad information. Some of these people have a hard enough time with the rules lest we offer improper information.

    If you guys are driving down the road there is only 2 ways to log on your log book.

    Line 2: Your body is in the sleeper (doesn't mean you are sleeping)
    Line 4: Your body is in the passenger seat

    Both of you should not do the same thing. Like you both don't need to deal with the loading/unloading. Only one of you.
    Only one fuel the truck. The other one go order food and have it ready for the one fueling. l.o.l. Sounds good anyway:).

    Other than that really nothing there shouldn't be any problems with hours since you are team. Just log the correct duty status.
