"Good faith", " Good conscience"???? spl
Alright, my husband has a safety director telling him that if he takes the 2 hour piece of a split sleeper berth, then in "good faith" trusting that he will take the 8 hour piece later?? I don't see this supported in the regs anywhere except the old regs. Anybody know anything about what he might be referring to?
In this case we're trying to figure out how to get him 50 more miles so he can swap out with a driver thats had a family emergency, so I'd love to be wrong, just can't see it. |
Is his 11 hrs driving up or his 14hrs?
Basically the regs are.. Driver may split driving. in between 14 hour clock. The only way you can stop the clock is if you take an 8 hour sleeper break. After that then you can continue you remaining driving that's left on the 11 and 14. Once that is done then you must take a 2 hr sleeper or off duty break. Then you get back the hours that you drove before the original 8hr sleeper and those hrs only. EX I drove 5 hrs. I'm tired. I crash for 8 hrs. Now my clock stopped because i took 8 hrs off. Now I have remaining 6 hours of drive time. I drive 6 and now I must stop for 2. After the 2 hours then I can drive 5 more (because that's how many hours i drove before the first 8 hr break) and do it all over again. Remember though once you start driving again after the 8 hours the 14 hr clock starts at where you stopped. It doesn't reset the entire 14. Its very confusing. I have used it a few times. You really need to be aware of the hours. BTW the only way to reset the 14 hr clock is to take a complete 10 hr break. Well I hope that helps. are you sure his safety director is not having him read between the lines of what he has said? That's what I am hearing from what you typed. Good Luck |
It's his 14 that are up, not his 11. He has 2 more hours on his 11 but his 14 are up. I can't find anything in the regs that support that 14 being extended by a 2 hour ( which he already took in the middle of his 14/11, which would be the point of contention.
I'm not sure what his safety director is trying to do to be honest. Sounds to me like he's trying to find anyway he can to get my husband to do this, which I understand, BUT, can't see it in the regs. |
Nope, you can not extend the 14 hour clock.

Make the driver come to your husband if you husband can't get to him legally. Thats about the only option you have at this point :?

When dealing with the 14 hour clock, there is only one thing that will stop it. That is an 8 consecutive hour sleeper berth break. Thats it, thats all. Nothing else does it, period. Had your husband done what the idiot of a "safety director" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: had mentioned....and he was stopped for a log book check, a ticket, or had an accident....and was over his 14, the $$$ fines would wipe out his paycheck for a week or two, probably over $1000.00 or so, just for a logbook violation. In the event of an accident, that fine would only be the tip of the iceberg. He would also be facing "criminal charges" as well. The moron safety director would lie and even put it in writing that he said no such thing....leaving your husband to swing in the breeze. My best advice: Tell your husband to start looking around for a new job, as that company is truly a "bottomfeeder", and they will try it again. |
