[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 562888, member: 6408"] Yes, the DOT has VERY specifice language on that. In sleepers, we have been stuck many times in Chi or other cities traffic, sometimes for hours. In order to keep on our drive/sleep schedule, the first reaction is to log out, that is, log sleeper time, break time or just plain off duty (which then would require you to have a full 10 hours off, so that was impossible) while you are still behind the wheel sitting, maybe just inching forward, maybe just sitting. The DOT requires that you log all of that time as "on duty-driving". That means if you are in control of that machine, rolling or not and have to be alert for movement or anything that happens, you are on duty and driving. Applied to package TRUCKS, anytime you are required, for any reason, to be in control of that vehicle, you are "on duty-driving", you are getting paid and are not required to punch out for break. Of course, once you are out of vehicle, as stated before, driving time stops. Also, to those in other threads that said they were required to take their lunches in their P/Cs (which should never happen anyway), same rule applies. Ordered by company to be in control of vehicle? Get paid. Simple. [/QUOTE]
