11-Hour Rule Work Projects
11-Hour Rule
This driver accumulated 10 hours of off-duty time by combining
10 consecutive hours alternating between the sleeper berth and
off duty. As long as the time is consecutive and not broken by
any driving or other on-duty time, this is a valid way to obtain offduty time.
11-Hour Rule Work Projects
11-Hour Rule
Here, the driver accumulated 10 hours of off duty, combining
sleeper-berth and off-duty times, but the off-duty period was
not consecutive because the driver drove for 1 hour starting at
9:00 a.m. Therefore, the driver was in violation of the rules
when he drove for 2 hours beyond the 11-hour limit. The driver
was also in violation of the 14-hour rule at 4:00 p.m.

14-Hour Rule Work Projects
14-Hour Rule
For this driver, the 14-hour clock started running when he or
she went on duty at 4:00 a.m., and ended at 6:00 p.m. (14
consecutive hours later). The driver was not eligible to drive
again until after a 10 hour break.
14-Hour Rule Work Projects
14-Hour Rule
This driver has used a combination of consecutive off-duty and
sleeper-berth time to accumulate the required 10 hours off duty
and reset the 14-hour clock. The 14-hour clock for this driver
restarted at 2:00 p.m., so there is no violation.

and on duty not driving during an 8 day
