Indiana says time at dock must be logged on-duty

Sleeper berth is still sleeper berth.

 

This doesn't effect me much anymore but I feel for you guys - especially reefers. This job sucks harder and harder by the day.

Where o where will they find warm bodies to fill those seats.

 

No new regulation here...that is the same regulation that has been on the books since I started. Simply put, the part that says "until relieved from responsibility" means, if your company or the customer doesn't require you to be present when the load is being loaded or unloaded, then you are relieved from being responsible for the load...ie. "off duty" or in the sleeper.

 

It's just a money grab by the state of Indiana.
I'd still log sleeper berth while being loaded or unloaded.
Federal law trumps state law.
Indiana state troopers can't manipulate Elogs, so log sleeper berth and do whatever the Elog has available after that.
Time for OOIDA to step in and file a lawsuit.

 

Let's pop it in the microwave for a minute then let me grab you a butter knife so you can spread that rhetorical sarcasm a little easier. Lol.

 

I guess I was right to log dock time on Line 4

 

You all can have it I don't miss driving one bit.

 

And you made money with Crete, Tuck? *scratches head*

 

Mid 50's, I'd run about 105,000 miles a year.
