    with in you 14 you can drive 11 and break for atleast one 30 min break. The new rule only affects running out on your 14, and doesn"t affect your 11 at all.

    July 1 (tommorrow) goes into effect and you can be on duty for up to 8 hours not 7.5. After you are on duty (including driving) for 8 hours if you have not taken your 30 minute break, you cannot drive until you do so.

    And if your sitting at a dock, which most of us are, that counts towards the 30 minute break. But you still have the full 11 if you need it. I think it's a stupid rule because most people dont drive 11 hours straght.
