this was a ? on a test for Swift and i believe the answer they gave is wrong
if a person is logged on duty(not driving line 4) for 13 hours and takes an hour lunch can he drive? there answer yes they can (an hour)
but does in not state that in fmsca that no one can drive after the 14th hour on duty?
or can only drive 11 hrs in a 14 hour period after that 14th hour you can be on duty as long as you want but cant drive until you have a 10 hour break.
i say they cant cause there lunch hour was there 14th hour on duty so they cant legally drive.
hours of service? 13 hours on duty hour lunch able to drive?

if the "lunch hour" is on line 4 then you can not drive, if it is on line 1 then you can drive 1 hour.
-
All breaks and lunch is off duty not driveing unless you are fueling that is on duty not driveing easy eay to look at it any time you are away from youre truck more than 15 min id log off duty
-
No...once you hit 14 hours after you started your clock you cannot drive at all regardless of what line you log...assuming of course you didn't take a 10...or satisfied a split break requirementThe Bird, CondoCruiser, CertifiedSweetie and 1 other person Thank this.

i don't think it matters what you do during those 14 hours. once started. it can't be stopped. and once that 14 hits. your off duty/sleeper.
however, there has to be a 30 minute break within 8 hours. (according to the new rules) so technically, your on duty 12 1/2 hours. but lets say you go the entire 13 on duty. and take hour 14 off duty. your day is done afterwards.airforcetoo Thanks this. -
Maybe using the 16 hour rule? But from the way you worded it, no you cannot drive. 13 hours onduty followed by an hour lunch will put you at 14 hours. You can continue to work onduty but you cannot drive until you take your 10 off.
Unless I'm missing something..... -
lunch hour was on line 1 of course but your 14 hour clock doesnt stop just cause you were off duty as i understand in the rules
yea that is true for the new HOS rules but this is an old ? that isnt updated to the new law, but even with out that new revision as you stated above the clock doesnt stop no matter what line you got to 14th hour is still the the stopping point would like any one to show me in fmcsa regs where that ? is possible -
Bingo ,there is the winner.

and what did he win?

You can stop the 14 by taking 8 continuous hours in the sleeper. It doesn't apply to the original question, but it's a way to stop the clock. I've used it when I've only been on-duty for a few hours and then get stuck at a shipper/receiver for 6 hours or something. Then I just make it 8 and recover the lost time.
