[QUOTE="705red, post: 614526, member: 5229"] [SIZE=3]The 60/70-hour limit is based on how many hours you work over a period of days. Just what kind of work is included in on-duty time? It includes all time you are working or are required to be ready to work, for any employer. It includes the following activities: [LIST] [*]All time at a plant, terminal, or other facility of a motor carrier or shipper, unless you have been relieved from duty by the motor carrier; [*]All time inspecting or servicing your truck, including fueling it and washing it; [*][B]All driving time;[/B] [*]All other time in a truck unless you are resting in a sleeper berth; [*]All time loading, unloading, supervising, or attending your truck; or handling paperwork for shipments; [*]All time taking care of your truck when it is broken down; [*]All time spent providing a breath, saliva, or urine sample for drug/alcohol testing, including travel to and from the collection site; [*]All time spent doing any other work for a motor carrier, including giving or receiving training and driving a company car; and [*]All time spent doing paid work for anyone who is not a motor carrier, such as a part-time job at a local restaurant. [/LIST]The bottom line is that on-duty time includes all time you are working for a motor carrier, whether paid or not, and all time you are doing paid work for anyone else.
