After 14 hours, can you drive a non-commercial vehicle for your company?

Just checked....says nothing about requiring a sleeper

 

I added that. Was not sure when I did it.

 

The 100 mile exemption says you can only work 12 hours. You must meet all the requirements of the rule in order to get the exemptions. It's all or none.

He needs to post back. It sounds like they are driving the 150 mile rule in regards to hours but yet in a 100 mile CDL vehicle then using the regular rules to exceed the 14??

 

If they do not meet the 100 mile exemption for the 12 hour rule, they are then required to log and meet the 14 hour rule.

 

I think the whole thing is shady. Too cheap to spring for a room if driver runs out of hours.

On another note...I was reading the sleeper berth section of the hours of service and it says that you "must exclude from the calculation of the 14 hour limit any sleeper berth period of at least 8 but less than 10 consecutive hours"

is that saying if you're in the sleeper for 8 hours you have to do a split sleeper or just wait until 10 hours?

 

You can use the split sleeper. I used it at one company and they made me rewrite the logs and show a 10 hour break. So, I would use it to legally get to the place before the rush and then take my 2 hours to finish it while I waited. Then I had to do the paper to satisfy safety.

 

Its just funny the regs say you MUST exclude it from the 14..I take that as being you're required to run split logs.

 

I'm retarded but I'm a driver so no one will notice

 

If he's staying out more than 12 hours at a time, he has to fill out a log book.

 

Can't use the provision if your truck doesn't have a birth.
