    Well from what I understand, your'e allowed 11 hours of driving time. Like after 6 hours or so depending on how you feel, you need to take a 30 minute break before 8 hours. I've heard that if you take your 30 minutes break around 3 or 4 hours you'll have to end up taking two 30 minute breaks. @ 4noReason, I totally agree with the backing part. There's no reason to get in a hurry. Those couple seconds that you took your time could save you lots of headaches like I'm sure you already know. Better to be careful then sorry

    You can drive up to 11 hrs hard to do because u have to be off the road on that 11 th hr , but I had 4 drive hrs left . Sitting there burnt up my 14 hr clock not my drive clock.
    Once u start a clock in the morning or night for ur day , u have 14 hrs then u have to be done for the day . Well I was at like 15 hrs. Lol

    Yea that's about right.. the best thing to do is go down to like 3 like he said .
    Or ya could drive 5 hrs insted of taking a 30 ya could take a 2 hr break then drive 5 more hrs . Now since u took a 2 hr break u don't meed to take a 10 hr break . You only need to take a 8 hr break ....
    Its called a 8; 2 split your trainers should teach all u guys about that , and if they don't ask about it .
