    (1) All time at a plant, terminal, facility, or other property of a motor carrier or shipper, or on any public property, waiting to be dispatched, unless the driver has been relieved from duty by the motor carrier;
    (2) All time inspecting, servicing, or conditioning any commercial motor vehicle at any time...
    ...(8) Performing any other work in the capacity, employ, or service of, a motor carrier; and
    (9) Performing any compensated work for a person who is not a motor carrier.

    You cannot be employed by two motor carriers. It is against the law. When you get hired at one you sign a paper saying this. If you are employed at a fmcsa regulated carrier and get hired by another, it terminates your employment at your previous company.
     
    Mike2633 and johnwayne187 Thank this.
