I was in Phoenix.... no wait! I mean Yuma. Well, actually, NC to PHX to Yuma and back in 3 ½ days! And I only needed two logbooks! :lol:
Xcis2 has it almost right.... but it sounded a little confusing. An 8 hour S/B break doesn't really "reset" the 14 hour clock. It just
EXTENDS it.
And the total driving time before and after said break cannot exceed 11 hours.

If you start driving, you have to stop at the 11th hour OR the 14th hour WHICH EVER COMES FIRST.

Sounds like a Mickey Mouse watch to me! :lol:
But, seriously... If you haven't taken an 8 hour S/B break, you MUST stop
DRIVING after the 14 hour EVEN if you haven't driven a full 11 hours yet (too many video games.)
FMCSR examples NEVER show times for pretrips or loading, etc. They are concerned ONLY with showing you how you can log your 11 hours of driving without violating the 14 hour rule.
Once you come on duty, ALL line 1 hours (that are NOT 10 hours consecutive), all line 2 hours (that are NOT 8 hours consecutive), ALL line 3 hours, and all line 4 hours, are ON the 14 hour clock. However,
If you are on line 4 at the 14th hour (without one of the breaks mentioned above being taken)... you can keep working, but must take a full 10 hour consecutive break before driving again.
If you are on line 1 or 2 at that time, you better be getting the required time, or your 14 hour clock will have expired and you can't drive until you do.
If you are on line 3 at the 14th hour (without having taken an 8 hour S/B break to "extend" it, you are
BUSTED!
Roadhog.... did you try 511??? That's TRAFFIC info, and they know where I am at all times! :lol:
