if anyone would be willing and able?
I see in my CDL Manual that it's 11 on and 10 off. The extra 3 per day is accounted for with the 11(breaks etc. I gather). The part that is so confusing and I can't seem to figure is this statement:
"Once you start work, all off-duty time less than 10 hours, all time on-duty but not driving, all drive time, and all sleeper berth time less than 8 hours counts against the 14 hours. This does not limit your work time to 14 hours a day. It means that 14 hours after you have started work, you are probably too tired to be a safe driver. Stop and rest".
That statement is confusing, again. Can someone explain it in "no Im not smarter than a 5th grader" terms??
PS Where is that "on switch" for the lightbulb in my brain when I need it
Need the "hours of service" explained

You have 11 hours to drive. After being on duty 14 hours you can not drive even if you have only driven 1 hour. You can work past the 14, just not drive. You need 10 hours down to start again. You can split, but it gets complicated explaining. The split is an 8-2 split. After 70 hours you need a re-start. 34 hours off duty to get your 70 back. You can do a 8th day gain after midnight, but I will lose you if I try to explain it. What am I saying ? I will lose me if I try to explain it...

Yes I was reading about the 70 hours also. It's just something that will be way more clear when I'm actually doing it. Thank you much tarps, your stuff helped

You are welcome. I can do a lot, but have a heck of a hard time explaining it to someone..
-
I hear that. I'm good with computers but when someone wants to know how I did it??
Forget it
-
I said I could do a lot... I never mentioned I was good at it...
-
Well, I'm not the best on a computer, that's for sure. I can just feel my way around, a lot of trial and error which I would really like to avoid when it comes to 40 tons movin down the road
