Please correct me if I’m wrong.
It was my understanding that if I get out of my truck and go to another paying job, let’s say as a male dancer at chippendales I would be required to log that as on duty since I’m not officially getting my 10 hour rest break.
Have to show on-duty not driving while mowing the lawn?

On-duty time means all time from the time a driver begins to work or is required to be in readiness to work until the time the driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work. On-duty time shall include:
(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.
That falls under 9, any compensated work for a motor carrier
As for the op, it's not getting paid, and it's not for a motor carrier so Off Duty. If he was doing a lawn business 'on the side' it would be on duty... -
On the other hand. A DOT that pulls you over cannot prove that you do work on the side unless they know you or you make it obvious, like putting yer side biz decal in yer vehicle you use as a CMV and being covered with grass stains and ####. -
Truckermania and x1Heavy Thank this.

Basically once money is involved most people will treat it like a job and try and make as much as they can.
As for finding out, sure on the roadside no one will ever know. It's when wrecks happen and lawyers get involved it becomes an issue.
