Driving over your 14 after a breakdown.

I never read anywhere its just for weather. I've used it serveral times due to being kicked off of yards. That 2 hour from what I know its not just weather its accidents and so on..

 

lol you think the majority of those steering wheel holders hit the road by 6? back your time up a couple hours, gotta let em sleep in

 

I think that 2 hours over may have been done away with.

If you are forced to leave somewhere, you might consider dropping your trailer and bobtailing offduty if that is an option. I have heard of some companies actually sending another truck to get trailer or getting a wrecker. Some of these companies are scared. They don't wanna take a chance on getting a violation.

I think going 3 hour over on your log is now considered a serious violation.

 

Shoulda logged it off duty driving.


Or drive slow enough that it doesnt kick in to the drive line. I do that when I'm delivering crap in Laredo....I'll drive down mines in the right lane at 23 mph to keep it off duty, then after I drop my trailer i'll bobtail back off duty drive

 

Adverse conditions can include accidents but it's still road conditions not breakdowns . Adverse conditions allow you to extend the driving time by up to 2 hours but you cannot exceed the 14 . The 16 hour rule could not apply here either .
The OP didn't state whether he was loaded . If he had an empty trailer he could have logged personal conveyance off duty .

 

With reason acceptable to your safety department but not FMCSA or a plaintiff's attorney . An attorney would love to show TransAm has a habit of allowing drivers to use a "safe haven " as an excuse to violate HOS

 

Only if the company allows it.

 

He might get a violation notice from his carrier but he'd be legal . Nowhere in the guidance of PC with a CMV did I see company permission was needed . I know it says permission was needed to go off duty for a lunch break .
He should have logged off duty . It wouldn't have counted on his 14 .
With the e-logs I used once you did posttrips it wouldn't switch to driving until you did a pretrip even if you were on duty . The carrier said we couldn't log PC from a tankwash . I did several times . Nothing ever came of it .
