[QUOTE="fiddledee, post: 1237969, member: 51119"] DOT has never made the distinction of paid for time as a qualifier for defining on duty time versus off duty time. DOT has always defined meal and breaks as off duty time. They don't care if you're getting paid for your meal or break. Most companies do not offer the paid breaks and meals. The quickest and easiest way for the DOT officer to explain it was paid for time but its not 100 percent accurate. If you had asked him specifically about paid breaks he would have corrected himself. The good news is being wrong about the 10 minute paid break gives you a cushion if you miscalculate your hours on a tight day. [/QUOTE]
