sleeper berth vs. non sleep: Off-Duty in a Daycab?

I was gonna say, just because you don't sleep in the truck doesn't mean you can't take lunch break or a 15 at a rest area. Those would be line 1. I have no idea why you'd log line 2 driving a day cab though. You either park the truck at the terminal and go home or park the truck in a hotel parking lot and sleep in the hotel. That's line 1 either way.

I read that technically you're supposed to log line 4 the whole time the truck is spotted on a shipper/receiver dock awaiting load/unload, unless they say "come back in 2 hrs" or something to that effect, but nobody logs that way.

 

So you don't need the receipt for tax purposes or anything?

 

Can you be in the daycab idling while on 30 minute break?

 

Guilty until proven innocent. What a world. Smh

 

Interesting thread. Lot of BS in it. There is NO FMCSA rule that says you have to stay in a Hotel if no sleeper. There is no rule because there is no rule that mandates a driver must sleep. I could satisfy FMCSA rules by simply sleeping in a tent. I really wish before people posted crap they would link to these so called rules.
