    Not really no. That's a completely different issue.
    You can be illegally parked and still be off duty in a cab because dusty status and parking are two different laws.

    No need to ever show sleeper unless you partake in split berth.

    Part 395.2
    On-duty time means ...
    (4) All time in or on a commercial motor vehicle, other than:
    (i) Time spent resting in or on a parked vehicle

    So yes, unless you are otherwise on-duty, just being in the drivers seat does not mean you have to be on-duty.

    Except that's falsifying your logs if you are in fact resting in a sleeper berth.

    The Presto Day Bed is great! Not expensive and allows you to rest while waiting. Far better than sleeping over the wheel.
