34 Hour Reset Question?????

When in a motel its off duty, you may be asked to show a receipt from the motel. If in a truck stop its best to show both sleeper birth and off duty while takin a 34. Its a simple rule dont try to complete it.

 

you can have both at a truckstop as most people can't sleep for 34 hrs at a time

 

As long as you stay above line 3, you can go back and forth between lines 1 and 2 all you want.

Line 2 is Off-duty in the sleeper. Line 1 is Off-duty everywhere else.

 

Just tell 'em you went on a bender and were passed out the entire time.

 

I think you're picking nits that don't exist.

Similar circumstance.

 

Sure you can; drive the truck, take phone calls and fill out log pages... all off-duty.

 

I guess we always need to complicate simple things. How about this scenario? You are not require by the carrier to complete the the log book, you are required by the federal government to complete it. Since the federal government doesn't pay you to complete the log book you are not working for wages while you are doing the log. I do believe that the only work you have to log, is work at the direction of the carrier and other work for wages, so no change of duty to "on duty not driving" occurs. All is well in the world.
