Would that depend on whether the new driver had a CDL or a CLP ?
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
If the activity is work-related, or at the direction of the boss or benefit of the customer, it's probably always On-Duty, if it's not Driving. Few people ever take up the personal hobby of riding in a vehicle and teaching or supervising the person driving the vehicle. If training/supervising of a driver isn't On-Duty, what possible duty status could it be?ZVar Thanks this. -
no.
new driver with a permit?
yes!
which one are you “training”? -

Then there is the fact team drivers can only be off duty in the passenger seat for a maximum of 3 hours before OR after 7 hours in the sleeper berth.
