You need to distinguish between WORK and DRIVING. You can WORK 24 hrs a day and 365 days a year and never violate HOS, as long as you don't DRIVE. HOS only limits when you can DRIVE, not when you can WORK.

You can rig and run a crane all week for as many hours as you want. Those hours have to be logged, and when you drive, those hours have to stay under the 70/14/11/8 hr clocks.

As said, ANY compensated work counts as "on duty" and much be logged as such, but the HOS do not limit the amount of on duty time, just driving.

Thanks. That is the way I was reading it.

Crossing a state border has not mattered to the FEDERAL Short-Haul HOS in decades. I'm not saying it NEVER did, but it has not mattered since maybe the 1990s or 2000s. If someone is using their own state's HOS that is a different matter and I'm not talking about that.
