[QUOTE="brian991219, post: 4332595, member: 122252"]They are using a loophole developed when the FMCSA started requiring the 30 minute break, the definition of off-duty time has been amended to include time spent resting in a parked CMV, so if you log off duty instead of sleeper technically sleeping in the back seat, or anywhere else for that matter is now legal. The reference is Part 395.2 1 (i), where the FMCSA added an exclusion to the definition of on duty time to exclude all time spent resting in or on a parked cmv, except as prohibited by the haz-mat regulations. It is a grey area loophole, but it is legal, at least for now.[/QUOTE]
