    what do you mean by work? you can't drive past your 14 hour clock buy you can work(on duty not driving) for an unlimited time as long as you take a 10 before driving again

    You can be on duty not driving as long as you want, but you can’t drive until you’ve completed a 10 hour break.

    Yes. There is NO LIMIT to the number of hours you can work. There are limits on driving time, not work.

    Not in SB would mean on duty or in violation of hos if logged off duty.

    Technically, op sure burned up his 70 hour clock. Doesn’t really say much for the “mentor”

    Legal as long as you take a 10 hour break before driving. Have you been to CDL school?
     
    CatesCube and Hatt91 Thank this.
