Have to show on-duty not driving while mowing the lawn?

That will be the next trend in trucking. Mobile Elogs so you can log yourself on duty while you plunge out the toilet at home.

I seriously doubt logging on duty while at home cutting the grass is required in any stretch of the rules.

 

I will present you with my first thought.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Second thought is the trucking company is such a tightwad that they cannot pay a landscaper to come in and buzzcut the place in 20 minutes once in a while.

When you are out of that truck in a company and preferably off their property, you are absolutely off duty. Now if you have sat in Orientation your first week, that's onduty.

 

Yes because you don't want to fail a random inspection. They will put you and that mower out of service

 

first you have to clog the toilet, then unclog it....

i'd say that's good for about 1.5 hours of on doodie time........

 

Yes and then there is the log!
Bwahahahahahaha!

 

so many come backs, so little time.

 

The non-hypothetical answer is that your former employers are idiots.

 

The answer is no. On duty is if you are waiting to be loaded and getting paid, working in the warehouse, unloading your trailer, or working at a different job in which you get paid for and pay taxes.

Anything you do outside of work is off duty.
