Anyone else work another job while trucking?

I think i found it and you may be correct...This is truly a crock of ####...
The 60/70-hour limit is based on how many hours you work over a period of days. Just what kind of work is included in on-duty time? It includes all time you are working or are required to be ready to work, for any employer. It includes the following activities:

• All time at a plant, terminal, or other facility of a motor carrier or shipper, unless you have been relieved from duty by the motor carrier;
• All time inspecting or servicing your truck, including fueling it and washing it;
• All driving time;
• All other time in a truck unless you are resting in a sleeper berth;
• All time loading, unloading, supervising, or attending your truck; or handling paperwork for shipments;
• All time taking care of your truck when it is broken down;
• All time spent providing a breath, saliva, or urine sample for drug/alcohol testing, including travel to and from the collection site;
• All time spent doing any other work for a motor carrier, including giving or receiving training and driving a company car; and
• All time spent doing paid work for anyone who is not a motor carrier, such as a part-time job at a local restaurant.

The bottom line is that on-duty time includes all time you are working for a motor carrier, whether paid or not, and all time you are doing paid work for anyone else.

The definition of on-duty time is found in Section 395.2.

 

Keeping sanity is a full time job for an OTR driver, luckily dont do that ### hauling anymore and sure dont miss it.
I made my share of real estate investments but in the final run only broke even, my spare time goes to reading and staying fit.
Wont matter if you make a few extra bucks on the side. Sitting in that truck strains your eyes and sure does not promote heart health. Get out and go for a walk. Even better get them skills and get proper pay instead of messing around. Jb Hunt CEO or someone from that batch said " A truck driver a time a dozen". I have a teacher's degree but owner operate because I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Just came across an interesting article who we share road with from time to time. One of those things make you go back to the granny lane which is not necessarily safer ...

Rickie Storie, aka Edward J. Ford, aka Bruce A. Craig, who had 64 license suspensions, including six times for DUI convictions, was indicted this week on charges that he used a fake identity to obtain his commercial driver's license. Tony Kurdzuk/The Star-Ledger
One trucker was able to get three commercial driver’s licenses under three names, despite his license being suspended 64 times and his six DUI convictions.
Another motorist was able to get a license to drive a bus by using the name of a dead man. Still another was a registered sex offender who got a license to drive tanker trucks under an alias despite his five DUI convictions, and another was an accused sex offender who was able to get a license to drive a truck despite his three DUI convictions.
The four men — whose driver’s license photos were displayed on a chart during a news conference with the state attorney general, Motor Vehicle Commission chief administrator and Division of Criminal Justice director Tuesday — were among 38 New Jersey drivers arrested with the help of facial recognition technology so intricate that the distance between eyeballs on a photo can distinguish an individual.
"It essentially breaks down the points on an individual’s face to a grid and its measurements," said Raymond Martinez, chief administrator of the MVC. "It measures the space between the eyes and the ears. It’s a scientific, proven technology."
State Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa noted that 9/11 terrorists had fake licenses from other states and that by detecting people with false licenses, the facial recognition could potentially uncover identity theft, financial fraud or terrorism, in addition to getting unsafe drivers off the road.
"For someone who’s put his children on the school buses in New Jersey for a long time, when you hear about folks who have multiple DUI convictions, sex offenders who are able to get licenses to operate those school buses — and, quite frankly, licenses to continue to drive on our roads — it certainly is a stark reminder that this the kind of thing that we need to be putting assets in," Chiesa said.

"If you have somebody who has six DUI convictions, they have to be driving under the influence a lot of the time. And for them to be able to continue to get driver’s licenses to operate vehicles by trying to scam the system, it creates a real safety issue for all of us."
The 38 arrests were from 669 potential criminal cases that have been referred to Chiesa’s office as a result of the facial recognition technology program, which was implemented 14 months ago.
The MVC suspended the licenses of 146 people for misstatements of identification.
The four men whose license photos were displayed at the news conference were:
• Rickie Storie, 58, of Old Bridge, who is accused of using the aliases of Edward J. Ford and Bruce A. Craig to get commercial licenses to drive trucks, despite his driver’s license being suspended 64 times, including a half-dozen times for DUI convictions.
• Raymond Pompey, 50, of Hackensack, accused of using the name of a dead man to get a bus license, despite a felony record and his license being suspended six times for traffic infractions and failure to appear in court.
• Anthony E. Smith, 53, of Camden, a registered sex offender, accused of getting a license with the alias Anthony E. Raymondo, despite his license being suspended from five DUI convictions.
• Hiram Maldonado, 57, of Elizabeth, accused of getting a truck license with the alias Victor L. Santos, despite his three DUI convictions, a warrant out of Florida and a parole violation in New York.
Storie and Pompey were indicted Monday, while Maldonado and Smith were arrested earlier, officials said. All were charged with use of personal identifying information of another and tampering with public records, among other charges.
The MVC took some ribbing last year for asking that driver’s license applicants not give too big a smile for their photos, so they not affect the facial recognition technology.
But Martinez said the technology works better that way.
"The driver’s license or nondriver ID is an identification document, it’s not a glamour shot," he said. "If you want that, you can go down to the mall and do that. We need a good, fair representation of the individual, similar to a passport photo."

 

I dont know if I am right about this but I thought any job that you claim on your taxes you have to log as on duty if you have a driving job not sure about that but for some reason thats what I remember but maybe this is a cash gig If you can have a 2nd without logging it I am all for it

 

Work full time as police officer own truck work part time driving. If I need more hours to drive I take vacation from full time job. All paid hours count as on duty.

 

More of us truck drivers should run for public office,,,,

Them bums never go to work.

(unless there's a tax that needs raisin' or a war that needs to be started)

 

I'm in the Military part time.
