explanation

1212Day 1

Day 2

There is an 11 hour rule violation from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on Day 2.
- 11 Hour Limit: After 10 hours off duty, the driver had 11 hours of driving time available at 10:00 a.m. on Day 1. At the end of Day 1, the driver had 3 hours remaining and, without a valid 10 hour break, the driver violated the 11 hour limit by driving an additional 1 hour from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on Day 2. After taking 10 consecutive hours off duty from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the 11 hour limit reset and the new calculation point became 5:00 p.m. with a full 11 hours available.
- 30 Minute Break: On Day 1, the driver began driving at 10:00 a.m. which is the calculation point for the 30 minute break provision. The driver could only drive until 6:00 p.m. which is 8 hours since the last off duty period of at least 30 minutes. The break taken from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. fulfilled the break requirement. On Day 2, the longest duration the driver was on duty for was 6 hours which is below the 8 hour threshold requiring a 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 hours on Day 1 so 5 hours still remain on the 14 hour limit. The driver then spent 8 consecutive hours in the sleeper berth and that rest break is not included in the 14 hour calculation. So at 3:00 a.m. on Day 2, the driver still had 5 hours remaining on his/her 14 hour limit. After spending 4 hours on duty (driving), the driver then switched to off duty for 10 consecutive hours. That 10 consecutive hour break reset the 14 hour limit and the new calculation point was then 5:00 p.m.
