    From what I understand, you are relieved from duty, and off duty, but it still goes against your 14 hour clock, because you do not do at least 2 hours. I could be wrong, we do not have the 30 minute rule here.
    It sounds like just a way to mess up a drivers day and cheat him out of 30 minutes to me. lol
     
    Mohtrucker and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    Yes u are right the 30 minute break is a scam lol but this guy was saying that when u log off duty u are not releived from ur duties. Which if ur not relieved from ur duties then u should log on duty... It is like clocking out for a lunch break at a regular job, u are relieved from ur duties at the job until u get back from lunch and clock back in.... Dont know why truck drivers make things so complicated lol

    I get a kick out of some of the log threads, and can see why and can understand why e-logs were as easy to make law as they were. I can just imagine going back before loose leaf days and see what guys came up with trying to run 2 or 3 log books. lol

    Some parts of the good old days were better, but then we would probably have to drive stuff that no one would even drive anymore. lol
