Yes thanks for your help. I'm starting to get it. Basically the 14 Hr won't stop running no matter what. But the goal is to maximize the drive time of 11Hr,out of 5he max 14 hours shift correct?

That resets it. But you can pause it.

For example, I only log 15 mins for pre trip. When I get to the shipper or whatever I go on duty as quickly as possible. I log maybe 15 minutes on duty for loading/unloading then I go off duty and stay off duty until I am ready to leave. Even if I am in the dock for hours I never log more than 15 min on duty. I save my time for driving which is when I earn money.jc3737 Thanks this. -

Simplier example:
You go on-duty @ 0700. You pre-trip then drive to the shipper arriving @ 0800. It takes the shipper until 1400 (6 hours) to load you and provide you with paperwork. Assuming you've taken a recent 30 minute break you can drive until 2100 or 7 hours. I know this exactly what you figured out but you over thought it. Keep it simple.jc3737 Thanks this. -
So do companies not teach how to run a log book anymore???
It is really simple...
Once you start working after an OFF DUTY/SLEEPER period of 10 or more hours, you then have 14 hours until the truck must be parked. But NO MORE THAN 11 of those 14 hours may be spent driving. Once either the 11 hours are used driving, OR the 14 hours have elapsed, another 10 hour period of OFF DUTY/SLEEPER is required to reset the 11 and 14 hour clocks. One CAN perform ON DUTY tasks past the 14 hour window, but the truck can not move until a single 10 period of OFF DUTY/SLEEPER is taken AFTER said ON DUTY tasks are completed.jc3737 and SoulScream84 Thank this. -
