Day 2

There is a 30 minute break violation from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Day 1. On Day 2, there is an 11 hour rule violation from 5:00 a.m. - 6:00 a.m.
- 11 Hour Limit: After 10 consecutive hours off duty, the driver had 11 hours of driving time available at 10:00 a.m. on Day 1. At the end of the day, the driver had 2 hours remaining and, without a valid 10 hour break, the driver violated the 11 hour limit by driving an additional 1 hour at 5 a.m. on Day 2.
- 30 Minute Break: As soon as the driver went into an on duty status (driving) at 10:00 a.m. on Day 1, the driver was allowed an 8 consecutive hour time frame to drive a CMV until a 30 minute break had to be taken. The driver did not stop driving until 9 hours had passed, thus violating the 30 minute break provision from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Day 1. On Day 2, the driver was only on duty for a total of 3 hours which does not require a 30 minute break.
- 14 Hour Limit: Calculation of the 14 hour limit begins at 10:00 a.m. on Day 1. The driver used 9 of 14 available hours on Day 1. Because the driver then got at least 8 consecutive hours in a sleeper berth from 7:00 p.m. on day 1 until 3:00 a.m. on Day 2, that rest break is not included in the 14 hour calculation. The new 14 hour limit calculation point was then 3:00 a.m. with 5 hours remaining (14 available hours - 9 hours used on Day 1). At 6:00 a.m. the driver switched to off duty for the remainder of the day with 2 hours remaining on the 14 hour limit.
