A driver working more than one job is required to record additional on-duty time when reporting to work for a motor carrier. True or false?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends on the motor carrier
• D. Only if driving a school bus

Answer: (A)

The statement is true. When a driver holds more than one job, they must account for all their on-duty time, which includes any time spent working for other employers, not just the time dedicated to the motor carrier. This requirement is set forth to ensure that drivers do not exceed the maximum hours of service regulations intended to promote safety on the road. Accurate record-keeping of all on-duty time helps prevent fatigue-related incidents and ensures compliance with federal regulations. Therefore, it is essential for drivers to track the hours worked across all positions to provide a complete picture of their working time.
