Boy things have really changed over the yrs. What ever happened to driving 10 hrs and calling it a day. Eat, take a shower, laundry or whatever you need to do. Go into the sleeper at 9pm. Get up a 5am and do it all over again.
starmac Thanks this. -
Guidance: Short periods of time (less than 15 minutes) may be identified by drawing a line from the appropriate on-duty (not driving) or driving line to the remarks section and entering the amount of time, such as 6 minutes, and the geographic location of the duty status change
I'd be under the impression that if you didn't indicate work you'd have an issue. If you did drop a flag and indicate a few minutes of work you'd not meet the requirements for your uninterrupted break. -
ok, I need a little help here. Things really have changed over the last 10yrs. Im just getting ready to get back in the big seat. In 2004 I could get up, have some coffee, do a 15 min pre trip. Get on down the road. 5 hrs later a take a break for about 45min. Get back on down the road for another 5hrs. And that was my day. Between my off duty time and my sleeper time it was plenty of time between driving. Always started my at 0500 and usually finished around 5pm. Can that still be done or have the rules changed that much. I was rare for me to run out of hours at the end of the week, if I planned my trips right.

Fuffster Thanks this.

I do like how they have added some hrs for on duty not driving time. It will help with unloading etc.

Just log your hooking up after your break is over. Problem solved.
