Logging off duty when in sleeper. Yes or no?

cranky yankee, you are dead on. cant say it any better.

 

what about it ,johan. you relize yet that guidance you posted is back from the days of 10 and 8.

 

The guidance I posted applies to current regulations.

 

H e told me the same thing like " i m not going to check it, but don t let me caught it and you will pay heavy price " WY DOT

 

only because you logged off duty and then told the joker you were in the sleeper. cant you see the difference. you shot yourself in the foot.

 

so you are saying that question 3,25,27 and 28 apply to the current regulations??

 

Kinda reaching there aren't ya? Do you really think THIS guidance is irrelevant today for some reason?

It's pretty straight forward:

What circumstances have changed to make you think this guidance is no longer relevant?

I don't like that guidance BS any more then the next guy. I can't even find that Q & A silliness in my green book. Seems to me they could easily write that guidance into the actual regulations and put this to rest. But that being said, No reasonable person would say you can legally log sleeper as off duty after reading the guidance.

 

Ok, the horse is dead already.

I seriously doubt if the violation in question even took place. Sleeper Berth and Off Duty as far as a NON-SPLIT are virtually one in the same.

If Im in the bunk going down the highway is one situation, as far as parked its quite another. I have also logged Off Duty aat truckstops for strught periods of 10 or more hours and never been questioned about. Im not getting out my logbook cause I have to tinkle, get real.

You have the right to remain slient, something most driver can not do, and should pratice more. Do not feed the guy with the ticket book, Yogi make bite you.

 

I am saying they are what is currently published by the FMCSA.
