I cant find this for the life of me :x In the FMCSR 395.1

A driver needs to fill out a log if he/she exceeds ___ hours on duty since the previous 8 hour rest?

If anyone has time i would appreciate it.[/img]

I wonder how old the test you are using is?

A lot has changed in the last couple of years where the HOS is concerned.

Property carriying cmv driver needs 10 hours off duty

a passenger carrying cmv driver only needs 8 off duty.

There are also differences in how many hours of driving each can have.

Thanks Uturn, I think it is actually a bus question! it comes from 395.1 (e) (2)

I don't think i had this much homework in High school, that was 13yrs ago. Now its cdl school 50hrs and work 40hrs in a week [/quote]

The above reference doesn't apply to buses. It applies to property carrying vehicles that do NOT require a CDL, allowing for a 150 mile radius instead of the usual 100 mile. It is ONE of the two options under "short haul" provisions. And the question first posted doesn't come from that paragraph.

Did you want the answer to the question for a Bus driver?

I think you may be looking for this:

395.1 (e) 1 (iii) (B) and (iv) (B): [Short haul provisions] A driver is EXEMPT from the requirements of part 395.8 (filling out logbooks) when.... "A passenger carrying CMV driver does NOT exceed 12 hours on duty and 10 hours maximum driving time following 8 consecutive hours off duty..."

In other words, the way the question is worded, it obviously DOES refer to "bus drivers" and is saying that if you exceed either 12 hours on duty OR 10 hours driving, you violate the HOS rules and are no longer exempt from filling out a log.

Since the original question mentions DUTY time.... the answer would be 12.
