14 hours to do whatever, with the ability to stop and restart, so no fixed time from start. minimum of 8 hours continuous.. once an 8 hour period is completed, 14 hours available again ( not withing a 24 hour window ). 6 days straight work available, then minimum 34 off. 6 days out 34 hours minimum off.
Similar to our rules here in AU, but i would like to see these instead of the new regs..

Hours of Service protect drivers from their employers and shippers. Nobody wants to return to the way it was before Hours of Service were established in the 1930s. Also, if drivers had no numerical limits on their activities, the government would soon invent fatigue testing. If your eyelids are involuntarily drooping, park it for eight hours even if you just left the house.
