Yeah it's true - if you park your truck at the city limits and leave it to go off duty .

 

Don't blame your Blackberry . I got the same result on my PC at home . Try this . http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...gulations/79806-logging-off-duty-driving.html

 

Do you stop driving once you reach the city limit sign? Of course you don't, so you stay on line 3, there is an exception to this.

Lets say you have three stops in the same city, you can accumulate the time driving between each stop, and put the total in one section of your line 3, but with this you also can put the appropriate combined stop time on line 4. Just be sure to note that you have 3 stops, on each info flag for lines 3&4.

Outside of that example, line 3 whenever you are behind the wheel...to put it simply.

 

I was taught, in school ( I know not the real world, every says), only log driving time when you are actually behind the wheel. If you are on duty, but not driving, log accordingly. If you are off duty, you are not doing anything work related (being away from home does not count).

 

Anybody can learn that from a $5 FMCSA Safety Handbook at a truckstop or free online at the FMCSA website .

 

AKA " the same city rule".... and it can help save some precious driving time
