if i'm reading your hours correctly. monday looks like you were on duty a total of 19 hours. tuesday looks like 19 hours. wednesday looks like 14 hours. thursday looks like 8 hours and friday looks like 2 hours.
is that correct?
your not allowed over 14 hours total onduty/drive time. 11 hours max for drive time. ''
half of both weeks violates the 14 hour clock. if i read that correctly. -
Both are legal as long as you didn't drive after your 14 were up each day and you have 10 off before you drive you drive again. You can be on duty as long as you want as long as you take 10 off before you drive again and dont drive after 70 hrs total.
not4hire Thanks this. -
On duty not driving is one line item
On duty driving is another line item
Both added = total Duty time.
On your first Monday, did you drive 8 hours inside an 11 hour duty window, or did you drive 8 hours and also work an additional 11 hours?
It would be easier to answer if this was clarified for each duty day. -
loose_leafs and Nic99 Thank this.

Turns out I misunderstood what he was saying let me see if I can get it right this time.
Monday log drive 6 hrs, log on duty 6 hrs
Tuesday log drive 6 hrs, log on duty 6 hrs
Wednesday log drive 6 hrs, log on duty 6 hrs
Thursday log drive 6 hrs, log on duty 6 hrs
Friday log drive 3 hrs, log on duty 3 hrs.
Saturday off duty starting at 1200 midnight (Friday night/Saturday Morning) (1am to 5am is met)
Sunday off duty until 1200 noon then log drive 6 hrs (1 am to 5 am is met Saturday night/Sunday Morning)
What does Sundays driving time go against? this week/last week
Is this legal? -

BUT, we don't know if he's mixing his hours. or driving, THEN on duty. he could be driving, onduty, driving, onduty. back and forth.
he's just giving us a rundown of what his days look like. we have no idea how he's playing out his days. -
you met your 34 restart. (maybe) so sunday goes on this weeks.
if you hadn't met your restart and was recapping, then sunday goes against last week.
as far as your 34 restart goes. 168 hours is required from the start of one restart to the start of the next. if you start your restart on saturday. on the first week. and take saturday/sunday off. then the following week would have to follow the same day at the same time. more or less. if you start the second week on friday and take friday and saturday off then work sunday. you'd be on recap.
so if you start your restart at midnight on friday/saturday. the first week. that's when it starts on the second week also. 168 hours from start to start. you can start later on the next week. but if you start earlier on the following week after. your kind of screwed.
you can thank your local gooberment for that stupid idea.NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
It is based on a 60 hr 7 day setup.
We were just arguing about how the work on Sunday would be scored. Would we put that toward the new week or would it be a part of last week.
It's technically a Monday week start but sometimes you have to leave on Sunday and I am assuming you would have to have time available to you from the past 7 days to drive?????
The whole thing is crazy to me. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see tired and sleepy people out on the road but from my standpoint I see more people driving tired because of how they are treated getting loaded and unloaded than how they are treated by a "bad or greedy owner". Most of my delays come from shippers that just don't give a ####. That occurs unloading and loading.
If these safety groups wanted to fix something maybe they could mandate pay for detention after so long.
That would do more to get tired, angry, upset people off the road than anything else they could possible do.
In fact, I think you could make an argument that they are making the situation worse because drivers are going to do what they have to do to make a living.
