Are you doing it for the company that employs you as a CDL driver, or is it side work? FMCSA says that any work (even non-transportation work) done for a motor a carrier is supposed to be considered on-duty not driving...
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
The CSA is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicle
The FMCSA was established within the Department of Transportation on January 1, 2000. Their primary mission is to prevent commercial motor vehicle-related fatalities and injuries.

I have a few business accounts that require maintenance. I am paid for this work and expect it to take no more than 1 or 2 hours a week. It is done on line.
Is this work considered 'on duty'?
This is not a transport company policy question.
Thank you.
