[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 1155307, member: 6408"] Always has been. We talked to DOT guy 10 or so yrs ago about this very issue. He said, "ABSOLUTELY does it count as driving time. Any time you are in control of a DOT regulated vehicle, you are under road rules". Here, nobody's challanged it. Yes, they put me in shifter close to violating and I said I would do it but have to report it. By some MIRACLE, I was promptly discharged from my duties of the time. And, no, I could not file FOR somebody else. You don't file, it is not put on a log book (which it should be), the company never reports it, IT NEVER HAPPENED, I guess. In addition, when on sleeper and stuck in huge traffic cluster****, we were instructed to go on "on duty-not driving". Another "DO NOT DO"! While in control of that vehicle, whether stopped or driving, if you are behind the wheel, you are "on duty-driving". [/QUOTE]
