Which statement defines off-duty time?

• A. Time when you're relieved of all duty or responsibility for performing work
• B. Time engaged in non-driving work-related activities
• C. Time doing paid work for someone else
• D. All of the above

Answer: (A)

Off-duty time is the period when a driver is relieved of all duty or responsibility to perform work. This means you’re free from any job-related tasks and not expected to perform duties, so you can rest or engage in personal activities. The statement that defines this best reflects that concept. Time spent on non-driving work-related activities or doing paid work for someone else keeps you in on-duty time because you’re still performing work or duties for the carrier or another employer. So those activities aren’t off-duty, and the idea that all of the above would be off-duty isn’t correct.
