Can you, legally, drive 11 hours in a row.

simple answer: yes

practical answer, not on your life. I've done it a few times, I now make every effort to give myself extra time so that I can stop every few hours to walk a lap around the truck, "cool a tire", and stretch. Heck even if I pull into a rest area for 15 minutes or a truckstop for 15 minutes, just something to break up the monotony and stress on the body.

 

I occasionally log 11 hours, but only if that's really what I drove, and I don't do it without taking breaks. I don't ever drive 12 or 13 unless I've screwed up my math. By that time I'm totally wasted.

I record my times to the nearest 15 minutes, rounding up or down, so if I recorded 11 hours, it was because I drove between 10.75 and 11.25 hours. If I drove 12, I log 12.

 

It will wear your body out really quick..

 

the only time I drive 11 hrs straight anymore is if I really really really want to get away from the old lady in a hurry.

 

If you plan on driveing 11hrs in a row your legal ..But! if you have an accident at 1.
0.30 on your driveing and hurt someone you better have a fleet of laywers to defend you for driveing tired.. the law may be in your favor but the jury wont..

 

It makes no difference when during the driving time you have an accident. They will be looking to see if you were driving legal, tired or whatever.

 

The answear in the USA is "Yes"
For those driving in Canada the answear is "NO" even though you can legaly drive for 13 hours. Canada has a new law that you must stop your vehicle every 275 miles and have a quick walk around. You also must show it in your log book.

 

Tell me she is not in the sleeper driver...

 

I really doubt any Canadian regulation says anything about miles . Let's see the regulation .
