URGENT question about the DOT HOS

You find the first legal parking and park it. Note what happened and go to sleep.

 

Exit 145 is just past that accident it looks like. Should be parking available.

 

I'm just looking at truckers path. I think I've stayed there before but I'm not sure, I don't do Donner too often.

Truckers path has a traffic layer, I think it just uses Google maps for that.

 

Log it as you drive it, I believe there's a provision for weather and emergencies, you just can't use it all the time. I'm sure some will elaborate or correct me on this.

 

Any info on the CB? Can you or did you go off duty or edit yourself off.
All you can do is park at the place that's legal to do so.
send a message to your safety dept or to whom ever

 

^^^^^ Safe Haven~

 

Turn the volume down and keep going til you get to a legal place to park.

 

Safe Haven is only for HazMat...

“Safe Haven” is covered in FMCSA regulations, here:

§ 397.5: Attendance and surveillance of motor vehicles.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, a motor vehicle which contains a Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 (explosive) material must be attended at all times by its driver or a qualified representative of the motor carrier that operates it.
(b) The rules in paragraph (a) of this section do not apply to a motor vehicle which contains Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 material if all the following conditions exist—
(1) The vehicle is located on the property of a motor carrier, on the property of a shipper or consignee of the explosives, in a safe haven, or, in the case of a vehicle containing 50 pounds or less of a Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 material, on a construction or survey site;

and is defined as:

an area specifically approved in writing by local, State, or Federal governmental authorities for the parking of unattended vehicles containing Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 materials.


Adverse Conditions is what applies.

§ 395.1: Scope of rules in this part.

(a) General. (1) The rules in this part apply to all motor carriers and drivers, except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (r) of this section.
(2) The exceptions from Federal requirements contained in paragraphs (l) and (m) of this section do not preempt State laws and regulations governing the safe operation of commercial motor vehicles.
(b) Driving conditions—(1) Adverse driving conditions. Except as provided in paragraph (h)(2) of this section, a driver who encounters adverse driving conditions, as defined in § 395.2, and cannot, because of those conditions, safely complete the run within the maximum driving time permitted by §§ 395.3(a) or 395.5(a) may drive and be permitted or required to drive a commercial motor vehicle for not more than 2 additional hours beyond the maximum time allowed under §§ 395.3(a) or 395.5(a) to complete that run or to reach a place offering safety for the occupants of the commercial motor vehicle and security for the commercial motor vehicle and its cargo.
(2) Emergency conditions. In case of any emergency, a driver may complete his/her run without being in violation of the provisions of the regulations in this part, if such run reasonably could have been completed absent the emergency.
