    well that's a little different from logging on duty for maintenance yes technically if your driving to a shop you log driving then maybe 15 minutes on duty.

    if you are wearing your jeans, then you are off duty.

    if however you are wearing a speedo, then you are on duty not driving...jesus man, get it right..

    Now get this, this past weekend my truck was at home and I was working on it putting in new CB wires and became very very intoxicated. Now since that is logged as on duty time am I up for a possible OWI?!? LOL

    All it is is another rule written by lawyers so they can point the finger at someone, take them to court, and impose the case and hopefully win. Its always about the money...
