Explain like I'm five the 10 hour break rule in the sleeper?

Show me in the LAW where it says I must take any or all a 10 hr break in the sleeper. Scotties link Only applies on a 10-2 split or team operation. That is a specific situation and then sleeper birth applies.


The problem here is everybody is interpreting and adding and subtracting things that do not apply.

If you are logging a duty[or not] cycle by going on and off duty 4 or 5 times a night [think bladder infection] then you are documenting on duty time.

In the Law it doesn't matter what you think it says/

Even in your answer to short break you added your opinion of a fact not the Law;

 

Your wasting your time. Everybody that has been doing this since I was a child has been doing it wrong. These people have listened to pinheads at their carriers who would not know an idiot stick from a moonpie say it is illegal. Sometime it's just best to go just ignore them.

 

I agree on that and that's why the trucking industry is in the shambles it's in; and

LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE.

 

Now I know how my wife feels after dealing with her willfully ignorant 3rd and 4th graders. Always complaining about kids that hear what they want to hear, not what is said.
Oh well. Some people just cannot be helped.

 

The regs say you have to keep your logs current to the last change of duty status. Off Duty has the word 'duty' right in it. The regs also say "Off Duty resting in a Sleeper Berth", so both off duty and sleeper are indeed a duty that must be current true and correctly changed according to the regs. To do otherwise is a straight up falsification.

If they wrote you up for being on Line 4 or Line 1 or Line 2 when you were supposed to be on Line 3, that is Falsification not Form and Manner. Now if they gave you F+M they were doing you a huge favor but never mistake that as the correct action by the DOT officer to you that day.

Form and Manner covers things like forgetting to put the date on your logs, or no trip number, things of this nature.

 

So how do you make a right turn?

 

Right turns were never the debate, it was double right turns.....

 

I'm going to send you a PM.

 

They really just need a line 5: Off Duty (Crapping)

 

That's the dooty duty status.
