Its Clear by Law, If you are asked to go off duty while waiting on a load to get cheated out of your pay then the company is in the wrong! If you are waiting on a load and cannot leave the Truck then you are on Duty for the Company!
What Is Off-Duty Time?
By understanding the definition of on-duty time, you will get a
good idea of what is considered off-duty time. In order for time
to be considered off-duty, you must be relieved of all duty and
responsibility for performing work. You must be free to pursue
activities of your own choosing and be able to leave the place
where your vehicle is parked.

If you are not doing any work (paid or unpaid) for a motor carrier,
and you are not doing any paid work for anyone else, you may
record the time as off-duty time
