    In Canada HOS, I set my ELD start of day time set to 6pm (24 hour clock)

    If am on duty at 6pm do my pre-trip and start driving by 7pm, take a break at 10-11pm and drive again, then after midnight another break at 4-5am, now that I have logged 2 hours off duty for breaks in a “day cab truck” can I work until 10am total extending to 16 hours or I have to finish 8am at 14 hours regardless?

    13 driving, 14 onduty, 16 max.

    So you can run to 10am, as long as you don't drive over 13 hours, and do not log more than 14 hours on duty within the 16 hour period.

    Long day in a daycab but I have done similar.

    thanks, my ELD was set midnight to midnight switched it to 6pm-6pm to match my start time. So all of my breaks count.
