    No I don't need to Google, as there is zero truth to what you are claiming. Sorry you can't handle being wrong, but you are. Until you can provide an actual regulation or guidance then I'm done arguing with the willfully ignorant.

    Plus, if you read what you yourself posted it doesn't even claim what you say it claims. It supports what is the truth. I.E. just by being at a shipper/receiver doesn't mean on has to be on duty. They give a whole list of things that have to happen, which just simply mirrors the regulation.
    So you need to learn to read your own cites, and provide official regulation/guidance when you make a, in this case wrong, claim about what the regulation is.

    I don't need to learn. They don't apply to me.

    in reality you’d never be off duty if you didn’t fudge that one a little bit. FMCSA seems to agree by now allowing 30 minute breaks to be satisfied by either line 1 or line 4, or some combination of the two adding up to 30 minutes or more. It’s the line 2 stuff they are more worried about.

    The rub is that a lot of DOT officers fall back onto option “C” themselves and don’t like to be questioned about it by guys making arguments based on “option B”. We all know how that works out when people waste their time trying arguing the law with cops on the side of the road. Here’s your ticket anyway go tell it to the judge.

    So this was updated 2 weeks ago.

    And not 9 years ago as is claimed.

    Yes. And? You are the one who claims all time at a shipper/receiver be on duty.
    Here's a hint since you can't read. Not a single point says that.
    The closest is point one, but that doesn't count unless one is waiting to be dispatched. (You have to read the whole sentence, not the part you like.)

    But again, don't bother replying until you 1. Learn to read. .2. Can cite an official regulation. or even guidance.

    The OP asked a question and never got an answer. No point in keeping this going
