    Technically, no. If on a public roadway (even the shoulder), you cannot be "released from duty".

    However, technically, you can't log anything but sleeper if you are physically in the sleeper while the truck is on a public roadway. So if you're physically in the sleeper berth . . .

    And I never, not once, and certainly not a half mile from exit 3 on I70 in Indiana, did I ever log 7:56 minutes of sleeper berth time before the road was reopened, then crept up the ramp, reset the Qualcomm, then utilized the sleeper berth exemption to run down the road in clear violation of both FMCSA and company regulations.

    Nope, never did something so heinous and reckless. :rolleyes:

    The question then becomes is it in fact a clear violation if you don’t get caught??

    I bought a 3" memory foam topper for my bunk. Maybe it will make sleeping in the truck more tolerable. Never had any problem with it 8 years ago. Oh well. Time to find out. Night all.

    This other workman’s at Rudy/Alma, used to be the old hilltop, has good food.

    I used to stop at the next exit up or so at Mountainburg, but that truck stop has been closed for years, but that place has amazing food..
