    Is there a difference in HOS regs for Teams vs Solo drivers?

    If so, what is the difference?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The only differance...which is not actually a differance. It's just a "perk" of running team.

    A team needs to only park the truck for 24 hours to get a reset. If they work it right.

    Very true. I never really had thought about it that way.

    Let's clarify here (I want to because I said that to a team and they thought they only needed a 24 hour reset because they was team:biggrin_25521:) so please let me explain how to do this.

    Driver1: Is in the sleeper 10 hours
    Driver2: Drives to a truck stop and shuts the truck down for a 24 hour period.
    Driver1: after the 24 hour shut down now has a 34 hour reset. 10 in the sleeper and 24 at the truck stop equals a 34 hour break.
    Driver1: Needs to drive for 10 hours so Driver2 can get the remaining of his 34 hour break.

    I hope that made sense as it is early :biggrin_25521:
