What do you do if you have driven your 11 hours and there's literally no where to park for miles. Do u keep driving until u find a spot to pull over? Can you get into trouble?

Learning to preplan stuff like that is what you're supposed to do.

You keep driving till you find the first available safe spot. Log reason why and maybe they'll let you off.
Can use the 14 hour exemption once a week if you still have on duty time left.Matt1924 and Kingty9183 Thank this. -
Stopping after ten hours does, but not always an option.
Some days your screwed no matter what you do.bentstrider83, stylez80Nine, Matt1924 and 11 others Thank this. -
Let me school you a little bit here.........you need to down load trucker path, and also pay attention to your surroundings. That's how you learn where to park. You should always have multiple plans, from A - Z. Your day can change instantly. You may have to park in places you dont want to at times. When you have 1.5 hrs left of remaining drive time, that's when you start thinking about a place to park. Not when you're cutting it close. Trip planning is everything

If when driving an hour and a half before, and you see the pickle park full, and trucks on ramps, don’t try the truck stops until about 1-2am. If you absolutely need to be somewhere the next day, and going into a major metropolitan area, and your day started later than usual, stop 200 miles out and split log it. That’s if the customer doesn’t have overnight parking.
Even if they say no to the overnight, they may say that you can slide in early to beat the morning rush. That works too!Tb0n3, Woodchuck88, gentleroger and 6 others Thank this.
