Yup. You can either wait a week OR reset for it to become available to you again. If you do neither, you must stop driving @ the end of hour 14...and if you aren't home, you'll have to get home on your next 6 (that's tomorrow getting home from wherever followed by 5 days leaving AND returning home) before it is available again, with or without a reset.

By "reset" you mean take your 34 hours (or more) off? Or reset this stupid e-log I'm trying to learn? -

But I digress...
The 16 hour exception only states that you had to start and stop at the same location on each of the 5 previous days that you worked in order to claim it. You can't use it more than once per week, unless you've had 34 hours off to reset your 60/7 or 70/8 week total. You must be released from duty within the 16th hour.
Side note: Everywhere else, the regs only state that you cannot drive past the 14th hour...but they say nothing about working past it on line 4 (not driving). On any day that you need to drive past the 14th hour to make it back to your home base, you have to do more than simply "make it back"...you have to be back in time to be "released from duty" by the 16th hour. What that means is that while it would be perfectly OK for you to arrive back at hour 13 and put in 5 more hours working the dock working beyond the 16th hour, that is because you did not drive past the 14th. If you need to use the 16 hour exception to make it back to home base, arriving at the 15th hour, then you have 1 hour left before you need to be released. Try working past that and it could be construed as a log violation because you were not "released from duty by the 16th hour".
But anyway, long story short as long as you meet the requisites to claim the 16 hour exception, it doesn't matter if you have a day cab or a sleeper. If you go home at the end of every shift, the 16 hour exception is an option that is available to you.Bean Jr., brian991219 and Sublime Thank this. -

I successfully use the 16 hour day quite often, usually two or three times a month, and we have used the short haul (no log book) in our wreckers that had sleepers. That was easier to explain given the random and unknown nature of that work, plus we used the sleeper to haul extra passengers when towing team operated trucks.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
I am all confused.
1. Sorry to bring up this old thread....
Hopefully someone can help with my problem.
So 99% of my stuff is short haul. Last several wks I've been starting from and ending at same location. I have 10 hrs off.
Now, I'd like to drive 7 hrs, drop and hook and drive 7 hrs home. That's 14 plus a break or 2 here or there would be pretty close to 16. Is there any reason that wouldnt work?
Thanks in advance. -
