10 HR break interrupted

Don't put all your eggs in one basket!

 

Egg - xactly.

 

Technically yes, but I’m not sure I’m understanding you correctly.

If you’re driving 5 miles during a 10 hour break, you’re in violation.

If you’re in a dock door, being loaded while you’re on your 10 in the sleeper - you’re all good, after 10 hours that is.

I’d be inclined to put a note on my door - “ On my 10 hour break - sleeping - on duty at ‘x’ am/pm”

However, there is a lot of ‘pro activity ‘ expected of us. I’d always welcome getting loaded early or on a break - but I was paid by the mile in those days.

 

If it's so common you should get a sign that says "You weren't ready when I was, so now I'm not ready when you are." Or just simply "#### off, I'm sleeping."

 

Ok, now THAT’S fowl.

 

Such a punny thread!
With my old ELD's if I moved the truck even a couple of feet I was put on duty and driving. Most of the time one can get away with moving into a dock and getting loaded then going back to park with out being taken out of sleeper. I welcome the opportunity to get loaded or unloaded while on break. Gives me more time to run.

Technically, OP, you are correct. But practically, stay on break.

 

You are in violation. 10 hour sleeper is 10 hour sleeper. HOWEVER, you just cannot drive until you have had 10 hours in sleeper.

IF that does not egg them on to improvements or ruffle feathers I don't know what will.

 

It’s a well laid plan I recently hatched.

 

I’m not a smart man, so count me in if it’s over-easy
