HOS question
Just want to double check something. Quite sure I know the answer, but I'll ask it anyway because I beleive it's different than the Canadian rule.
Under US rules, if I started my day at 06:00, drove for 8 hours, went off duty for 4 hours, how many more hours can I drive that day? |
1.75hrs, with a .25 hr post-trip would wrap up your 14hr day before a 10hr break.
|
So those 4 hours off duty actually count against my on duty hours ?
I was thinking I could drive 11-8 = 3 more hours. |
I'm pretty sure that once you turn the key, your 14 hour clock starts.

sleeper time of at least 2 hours does stop the clock, but you can still only drive 11 so if you started at 6 am, drove until 2 pm, took 4 hours sleeper time, came back on at 6 pm, you have 3 more hours to drive, then you must take another 8 even though you already took 4 because now you can take 2 sleeper periods but one must be at least 2 hours and one must be at least8 this is because a panel of idiots who have never even seen a truck up close determined that it's much safer to make you drive 11 hours a day and then take 10 off than it would be of you could stop and nap when you get tired and not be penalized for it. and I know I didnt figure inspection time or any of that, just trying to keep it simple |

yes it will as long as you take another 8, it has to be 8 even though you already took 4 G-3. How does a driver who is utilizing the sleeper berth provision calculate his or her compliance with the 14-hour rule? A sleeper-berth period of at least 8 consecutive hours is excluded from calculation of the 14-hour limitation. All other sleeper berth periods are included in the 14-hour calculation (unless part of a sleeper-berth/off-duty combination of 10 or more consecutive hours). |
All times are GMT. The time now is 06:48 AM. |
