The remainder of this questionnaire is to be completed only by you. Remember that all of your responses are anonymous. We are interested in learning the amount of time you spent driving/on duty, off duty/not working, and sleeping for the past two days and today. A familiar format is used to make this task easy for you, however, we are not interested in your HOS-logged driving time; only your honest and best estimate for the hours you spent on these activities— For example, the number of hours you actually slept and not simply the hours you spent in the sleeper berth. When you are finished, please hand your activity diary back to the interviewer.

Thank you for participating in this survey.

INTERVIEWER NOTE:

HAND RESPONDENT DRIVER SLEEP AND ACTIVITY DIARY TO ANSWER ON THEIR OWN AND HAND BACK TO INTERVIEWER.
