    Hi,
    I know, I should try and look this up, but I figured someone knows the answer quick.
    I was heading to Chicago from Texas a couple days ago.
    There was a bad rollover accident on the highway, with Hazmat in the load. (a set of fed-ex doubles, not sure how the driver was, hope ok )
    Anyway, we sat PARKED/STOPPED on the highway for close to 2 hours.
    My question is, I know the is some extra driving time permitted for bad weather, what about this type of situation?
    Thanks for any info.

    Did your 11 expire while waiting for the road to reopen, or are you looking to replace the lost 2 hours?
