There's no limit on the league hours you can work a day.

The 14 hour rule just limits you to driving up to 11 hours in the first 14 hours you work.

 

Will you be runnng in Canada or the US?

The rules in Canada are much better for being able to put on the miles without having to screw up your sleep pattern.

The 16 hour window along with the 13 hours driving let you drive the miles while still being able to break for meals and keep a regular sleep pattern.

How many hours worked in a day depends on a lot of factors. 12 to 14 isn't unusual for me but I average 10 to 11 overall.

 

actually, 70 hours over 8 days - not 7.
