I have two driving jobs, can i get in trouble?

I have also noticed sometimes a new person or someone known on the boards in a new name ask questions designed to start arguments. I have seen this several times now.

 

Are they both CDL driving jobs? If so there is a chance you could get caught, the HOS violation wouldn't be how they took you down, it's the perjury on Federal Documents that would get you. If one isn't a CDL job theirs really no way they'd every get you but my saying has always been if your first job doesn't pay enough, get a better first job, not a second one. Don't screw yourself up over something stupid.

 

Sorry, that's where your misinformed. We do not have to log hours spent gardening or fixing a water heater in your house. If you read back to the first page, I have the link posted with the specific info and the correct way of it.

Not let me go wash my car and not log duty time.

P.s. Only compensated work is to be logged.

People are going to do what they're going to do. If this is a real post do you think he's going to quit his weekend job because people on the internet said he could get in trouble? I doubt it. He's probably making a decent living with a little time for himself on the weekends plus the potential for making more money.

 

Well he is asking us, so we answered. And how much free time do you think he has on call from 8am sat to 8pm sun, a lot of tows in that time

 

Also, maybe the OP isn't one of those who believe Big Brother FMCSA/DOT is watching him every minute, day and night.

 

What about doing the dishes? Does that count? What about walking the dog? Mailing a letter? Golly, there's so much to consider.

 

You can, as a driver, work more than 70 hours. You are legally not allowed to drive after 70 on duty. Once my 70 is up, I can continue working in the shop/yard for OT if I like. My truck has to stayed parked in the yard until my 36 hour reset is done though so I can stay legal.

 

with two compensated jobs, when is there time for a reset ?

 

Per Northern's example: you go on duty, PTI 15m, drive 10h, now it's 10:15 and you go to Obama break. Now it's 20:15, you can drive 3:45 more that day. You can work on duty before, after, or during your work day, you just have 11 hours drive time in your 14hr clock. You can work more, but you can't drive until you take a break. I believe a lot of combo drive/dock work gets into this? My work is all OTR, and it rarely comes up. I was misinformed by the refresher school I went to about work counting whether compensated or not, as Blackshack pointed out. Oh, I gotta go do some gardening. I guess my example of moving my brother is now OK as long as he doesn't buy me lunch or a 12pk. I'm pretty sure there won't be any talk of pay, by either party. We don't do that.

 

that's it. the frigging dog can walk himself, the dishes can pile up, and as for walking to the mailbox, screw the post office, they make too much money nowadays....
