13.75 the 10 hour break resets the clock for you and you have your next 11 to use. Under the old 10 and 8 there were plenty of days I did 15.75 as long as I had that 8 hours in between shifts DOT boys said I was fine. Trouble is you will fry your hours faster than Rosy Odonnell gets fired from the View.

you can be on duty for 14 hours out if which you can drive for 11 hours, then you must have 10 hours rest, so the maximum time you could drive during a 24 hour period would be 11 hours

Ahh trucker math and a lack of understanding of the HOS. :P

It would be no more than 13.5 hours in most situations. (Figuring 2 vehicle inspections during that time).

Now what exactly is trucker math? :lol:

I have a quick question.

What is the maximum number of hours allowed for driving during a 24 hour period?

I know it sounds like a basic premise of HOS, but I just recently realized it isn't.

Midnight until 11 am driving = 11 hours
11 am until 9 pm sleeper berth = 10 hours
9 pm until midnight driving = 3 hours

Theoretically, 14 hours, but that isn't going to happen in the real world.

without having to load or unload, you will have to pre tip.
That is going to cost one half hour, depending on your tank size, you might have to fuel, there goes half hour more.
The only way to get out of that one, Is to fuel and pt at the same time.

the way it is you can not steel from the ten off, but you can from the three on duty.

twenty is more like it.

The rev forgot to pre trip twice so his 14 is in all reality going to be 13

In theory, you could have done a pre-trip at 11:45 pm, and started driving at 12:00 am. That eliminates one pretrip right there.

You're assuming fueling is necessary.

Didn't forget anything. I purposely left them out. But in the interest of fairness, here's a best case scenario for a single day.

11:45pm - 12:00 am = pre trip, tanks are full
12:00 am - 11:00 am = 11 hours driving
11:00 am - 9:00 pm = 10 hours sleeper berth
9:00 pm - 9:15 pm = pre trip
9:15 pm - 12:00 am = 2 hours, 45 minutes driving

Total driving time: 13 hours, 45 minutes.

The real question should be: Why would anyone want to drive 13 hours, 45 minutes in a single day?

so now your day is twenty four and a quarter long.

You're assuming fueling is necessary.

never had a truck run without yet.

nice one. try telling that to the scale master.

seventy two point pre trip in 15 Min's that's refreshing :roll:

Learn to quote, please. Also, learn what "best case scenario" and "theory" mean.

I was thinking 24 hr period,,, that is any 24 hour period, does not have to begin or end with the date change.

So 13.5 hours, drive 6.75 off 10, drive 6.75, but I guess 13 would be closer to reality with fueling. And as one said you would use up your total hours rapidly and probably wear your ass out quickly.
