Split Sleeper Berth Provision
Topic 2880 | Page 2
If you are riding the jump seat are you allowed to count that as "off duty" time? Technically you are being "paid" because the wheels are spinning but you have no "responsibility" as the driver in the "responsible" person. I guess it 's kind of hard to run 2 or 3 logbooks with e-logging too! LOL So much for the "good ole days"! LOL
you are allowed, I believe, 2 hrs off duty in the pass. seat, and then you must be in the SB. This 2 hrs gives you time to unwind, and eat. You of course don't need to spend all 2 hrs in the pass.. most of the time while I was in training, I was in SB even while in the pass seat. if we ever crossed near a scale, Id hope back in tell the coast was clear. really who's gonna know?
Logbook:
A written or electronic record of a driver's duty status which must be maintained at all times. The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty. The enforcement of the Hours Of Service Rules (HOS) are based upon the entries put in a driver's logbook.
Seems you almost need an advanced engineering degree in time sciences to figure all this out. I read through it and was certainly confused by the time I had.

I think I know the answer to this but just checking. Back when I was driving 35 years ago (if we were running teams) we would drive 4 hours and spend 4 hours showing in the sleeper or "off duty" setting in the jump seat.
From what I am seeing now you can't do that but would have to spend 10 hours in the sleeper. If you are riding the jump seat are you allowed to count that as "off duty" time?
