Just when you thought the dot hacked up your log sheets too much? Here comes another puzzle to solve....
Starting July 1, 2013, youll also need to factor in a mandatory 30-minute rest break into the equation when youve reached eight consecutive hours of On-Duty.
When that rule takes effect, youll only be able to drive if youve taken a minimum 30-minute rest period in the previous eight hours.
manditory 30 minute break goes into effect july 1st 2013 ...or so im told

We just recently switched over to AOBR's on all of our trucks, it looks like the system will "adjust,update" on July 1st. It will start a second countdown clock after you start your day as to how much time you have before you HAVE to put your 30 minute stop in.
Between this 30 minute break and no more than one reset, I am glad that we went the electronic log route, no offense, but the truth is, none of my guys are math majors, and I could see that with no second reset and having to roll hours where it could get very easy to make a mistake, or add wrong.Twicebit Thanks this. -
I take a half hour a day already. I am a human, and i am not working like a illegal immigrant for nobody
moosc and zentrucking Thank this. -
All 4 of the conditions need to be met in order to log on line 1 after beginning your work day. Take particular note of item number 3.
