It doesn't over rule the 14 hours, but it can extend your 11 hour rule. Most weekdays I drive I get kicked off the road by the 14 rule, not the 11, because I log off duty when I stop. Once you start driving, you have to be off the road after 14 hours to do a 10 hour break no matter how little drive that day. There's an 8/2 option there that sometimes help when you are at a customers but I don't use it being on a team it would just slow us down.
Can you EXTEND driving time by going off duty?

No. What you are describing does not work.
However, if you learn how to do 8-2 splits (which can also be 2-8 splits) you can salvage some time after a long time spent off duty. -
NOTHING EXTENDS YOUR DRIVE TIME ... PERIOD.

Zephirus was last seen here back in 2010. Maybe all this attention will bring him back. I miss him

He was last seen getting in line at Loves fuel that stretched across the interstate overpass and around the corner to the off ramp. There was only one fuel bay working, the other 8 were occupied by people taking showers. He should be by any minute now.tscottme, Farmerbob1 and RustyBolt Thank this.

I keep getting suckered into these necrotized threads. This forum software has the ability to have necrochecks before posting on old threads, I think. It's the same code base that a couple other forums I visit use, and they have necrochecks.
