So if I start working @ 2:00 am my original 14 hour ends @ 4:00 pm, but if I drive say 6 hours (which puts me @ 8:00 am) and take an 8 hour sleeper break from (8:00 am to 4:00 pm) that extends my 14 hour to 12:00 am now the driving time from 2:00 am to 12:00 am should not total more than 11 hours. If I get my 2 hour break before then I would restart my 14 from the end of the previous. So if you started @ 5:00 am and drove 3 hours and then took 8 hours in the sleeper your 14 hour would now end 3:00 am the following day. The driving time from 5:00 am to 3:00 am should not total more than 11 hours of line 3 time (driving). That was just a quick easy explination

Three times. I forgot, In VA about 4 months ago. 200 pounds over on the tandems, and he checked my logbook while writing an overweight fine. Sheesh, 6 times?? I think I'd throw it out the window and say I don't have one. Does your truck say "Whatever you do, don't ask to see my logs" on the side of it??
