That depends on the state.

That only is if you are under the scope of the FMCSA. If you do not fall under their rules, then the state law is where you get the limit.

 

Correct, so I guess it depends on how you operate, in my companies case our locals cross state lines.

 

Is there still a 60/7 day work period?

 

Yes. Depends on the company meeting the requirements for it.

 

Would you know what the requirements are?

(1) Having been on duty 60 hours in any period of 7 consecutive days if the employing motor carrier does not operate commercial motor vehicles every day of the week; or

(2) Having been on duty 70 hours in any period of 8 consecutive days if the employing motor carrier operates commercial motor vehicles every day of the week.

 

Actually you were at hour 13 out of 14

 

Yep... you started your sleeper at 0200 which means you were on-duty for 4 hours, including 3 hours on line 3 at that point. When you awakened at 1000 (after 8 hours) you still had 10 hours on your 14, and 8 hours on your 11. You could finish your run any time up to 2000... when your 14 expired, with plenty of time on your 11 to do it.
