Well im doing my log book but I fuel and stayed at a truck stop for about four hours before started driving. Can I legally put when I started driving and leave my fuel off duty and out of my 14hr log.


Answer - Lifeasatrucker:

No. When you move the truck to fuel, it will be considered on duty not driving flagged as fueling. (Note the location information)

It uses a minimum of 15mins of your 14hrs.

Flagging fuel
by: Anonymous

Can you flag fuel an hour before or after getting it or does it have to show exactly when you fueled

Fueling off duty
by: scottlevan24@gmail.com

The only time you can fuel off duty is when you are not under a load and are free and clear to leave the truck to go do things.

IT'S CALLED (REMAINING IN READY NESS ).. I pulled it from the HOS handbook . You can not be under dispatch or a load tho
