I took a 7-hour break last night so I didn't quite get 8 hours to reset my clock. For those of you reading this who aren't familiar with texas hours of service rules, Texas requires only 8 hours to reset your clock. Anyways I've run out of hours and was wondering if I took a 2-hour break would that then complete the requirements for the 8-hour break and thus restart my clock? I'm looking at the Texas dot manual or whatever you call it right now but if any of you have experience with that in the meantime I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks.

Just because you are in Texas doesn't mean you can use Texas HOS. If the load in interstate, not just the driver, you must use federal HOSLast Call and Wasted Thyme Thank this. -
D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

If you cross state lines on your ‘first day’ you need to stay on fed rules for the remainder of that week, or until you complete a 34 hr reset.

This is all very confusing. I thought you were either intrastate or interstate as an operation and couldn't go back and forth from week to week.

Same question from the "Great White North". Am I wrong in my thinking? I was born and raised in Texas and have no clue about their intrastate regulations as I have only driven interstate.
But I was confident that a carrier could only be one or the other.
The outfit I pull for has dedicated drivers that literally only drive in Texas but still must follow interstate rules as the carrier is indeed an interstate opetation.joseph1853 Thanks this. -

Now that's just hos. There are other regs like in MI one needs an msp number for intrastate loads even if one has a dot number.joseph1853 Thanks this. -
