D O T Question

Part time doing what?
Driving? Yes logbook required
Painting no logbook required

 

Yes, you can. There is no rule that says you must only use your driving hours for one carrier. I would only caution about that 60/70 hour clock and make sure you maintain enough time to do the primary job.

 

Yes absolutely, if paid then must log on duty hours, you can work all you want, within State labor laws. You just can't drive if you go over your 14 hr or 70 hr clock without taking a minimum 10 hours sleeper or off duty.

Edit: he can work all he wants but before he drives he would need a reset.

 

NO! You MUST either get recap back to drive once past that 70 OR do a reset. Just doing a 10 is not enough!

 

You are correct, if he starts Sunday and finishes Friday he has nothing to recap. Reset before he drives.

 

My first comment was written under the possibility the OP was talking about driving. If not that's OK too. Just remember as a professional you should get rest. If you are doing none driving work on the weekends you are not getting good rest. You can do this at 25, but as you start to hit those middle age years it is not as easy. So my answer is yes, absolutely. Just get enough rest!

 

You are still limited to 70 hours in 8 days or 60 hours in 70 days FOR ALL WORK YOU DO FOR **ANY** EMPLOYER. So you could use your remaining 20 hours to be a cashier, driver, test pilot, porn star or any job. It's NOT just driving jobs that count against your HOS.

 

Corrections:

• ALL work for any motor carrier counts against 60/7 and 70/8 clocks.
• COMPENSATED work for non motor carries does as well.
• There is no limit to the non-driving hours that can be worked whether for motor carriers or not.
• In order to drive there must be sufficient hours remaining on 60/7 and 70/8 or recap hours or after a reset.

On-duty time means...

(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.
