The local ready mix place does this on a two-week cycle. Anything over 80 hours in a pay period is overtime. That way they can work you in 70/10 or 60/20 cycles without paying overtime.

Where to find the regulation so I can get some made? Is it in the master book? Thanks.

when i took a break, it was generally after 5 or 6 hours of being on the road, marked it as on duty, not driving since i was doing a mid route pre-trip around the truck while i was actually taking a break.
