See, this is where we have a problem. I KNOW I've discussed this on a thread with you before, tdriver! I'm SURE that YOU understand the rules, and what you are saying makes sense to YOU. But, it doesn't to ME, and I don't think it will to a newbie.
A "literal" translation of what you said would indicate that IF a driver drove 11 hours straight (after the intitial pre-trip for the day,) he "MUST" then immediately shutdown for 10. OR that he would have to do so after 14 hours. NEITHER is true!
I can start at 6 a.m today, and not take my 10 off until 6 a.m tomorrow, if that's how it works out! I just can't DRIVE for more than 11 hours within that time, and NOT after 14 hours from the time I started!
I have 14 hours in which to drive my 11, but I could WORK all night after the 14 if I wanted to - on line 4! I just can't DRIVE again, until I've had 10 hours off duty!
You KNOW that! So, WHY do you imply that one HAS to shutdown for 10 hours IMMEDIATELY after 11 hours of driving OR after the 14 hour "driving duty window?"
I don't think you MEAN that, but that is what you are SAYING!
