Which activity counts as on-duty time for hours-of-service purposes?
- A.Time spent commuting in a personal car with no work duties in all cases
- B.Sleeping at home on a day off
- C.Time inspecting, servicing, loading, or fueling the vehicle at the direction of the carrier
- D.Watching television during a full 10-hour break
Correct answer
C. Time inspecting, servicing, loading, or fueling the vehicle at the direction of the carrier
Why
On-duty time includes all time working for a carrier, including inspections, fueling, loading, and waiting at a facility when required. That is why the weekly and 14-hour limits can expire even when driving hours look low.
