Driveaway "On duty not driving" question

(1) All time at a plant, terminal, facility, or other property of a motor carrier or shipper, or on any public property, waiting to be dispatched, unless the driver has been relieved from duty by the motor carrier;


accord . to that above, if they relieve you of duty, then yes, you can log off duty.....

 

well no one has posted since me....does that mean i am right, or am i wrong?? LOL...

i looked under exceptions and all i can find is about pre and post trips....

 

given what OP said about his dispatcher telling him to log off duty that sure sounds like relieved of duty to me.

 

When I get home I'll look through my notes. In the meantime, I believe you are right, Giggles. Bill

 

ya know, i forgot about him saying that...thanks

 

go to sleep on the plane and put it as sleeper berth

 

Ah another one of those lovely grey area's you couldn't get 5 different leo's to agree on with their jobs on the line--LOL
So my question here would be--while I understand the no responsibilty while on an airplane--IF--the company pays for your rental car--and YOU drive it to your next commercial assignment--wouldn't/couldn't the time spent driving the rental be considered "on duty" and even possibly line 3? Although technically not in a commercial vehicle per se? My first thought was to consider it like driving to or from work--but--in this case you are not leaving from or returning to a place of work from your home--OK Discuss--LOL

 

Wow, my original post is correct. It is about being responsible.

 

thats the thing...the regs dont specifically address this ( or i missed it)......but if you log on duty ....then when do you rest before driving the truck again....however, dont wanna be logging off duty, if you arent sup to....

 

No because you are not responsible for anything, you are off duty.
