Construction job with elds

But I thought you guys wouldn't be effected.

 

Either way...
• Daily driving time limit of 11 hours is maintained.
• The 60 / 70 hour weekly driving limits are also unchanged.
• Consecutive hours of driving are limited to 8 hours following an off-duty break of at least 30 minutes.
• Maximum on-duty time will remain at 14 hours.
• Drivers must take a 30-minute break during the first 8 hours of a shift.
• Drivers transporting construction materials and equipment to and from an active construction site within a 50 air mile radius of
the drivers normal work reporting location are allowed to restart the on-duty counting period following an off duty period of 24 or
more successive hours.
• Drivers that do not meet the construction driver definition can restart the weekly on duty clock following a 34 hour off duty period
that includes at least two periods between 1:00 am and 5:00 am.
• The rule limits the use of the 34 hour restart to once a week thus limiting restarts to one every 168 hours.
• The practical effect of new on duty limits result in weekly driving time being reduced from 82 to 70 hours during a seven consecutive day driving period.

While you seem to have an arbitrary need to use foul language you really weren't specific no matter how many times I read your post. Yeah. Most have bragged and I laugh at the thought. So bless you any way sir. By the way most of their attitudes are unchanged. Spoke to many of them. Thank you for your time.

 

I'm going to say 99% of them will claim the 8/30 exemption from the ELD, as their drivers likely already claim the 100 air-mile radius exemption (whether they know it or not, simply because they AREN'T logging, and really only "on the clock" at the jobsite). And yes, that IS legal, as you are allowed to commute in a CMV as PC (off duty), so if they drive to (pc/off duty), put in their 12 hour day, and drive home (pc/off duty), they still qualify for the exemption. Trick is, they must be released from duty during that time...no "run by the office and pick that up on your way" or they lose the exception. But who's keeping track of that? Their time card looks good IF audited because it's all 12 hour days, so no logs are required.
