I went over my 14hr clock today in an effort to find a truck stop or rest area, the closest rest area was about an hour away and I only had 12 mins left on my 14 hrs clock. I have been running since 430am dropping off and load then I had to deadhead 320 miles to pick up a load that absolutely had to be picked up today. After I ran out of hours a keep driving and now my qc says HOS violation. What do I do in this situation?!
Went over my 14 hr clock by 50 mins.

Large caliber pistol. Put end of barrel into pie hole. Pul trigger. You’re toast. Might as well get it over with.

Send an email to your dispatcher or safety. Say your trip plan had you stopping at this truck stop and when you arrived there was no parking. So instead of parking on a shoulder of an on ramp and putting the public at risk. You decided to move on to the next best parking available 50 miles down the road. Make sure you take a full 10 hours break.

If your truck has the battery cutoff switch, you could cut the battery for a few minutes and let the Qualcomm reset, that should get rid of the warning message.
Then if you get a DOT Inspection this week odds are they won’t notice it.
You may want to call your log department in the morning and tell them what happened.BigBob410, 12 ga, Shock Therapy and 1 other person Thank this. -
