Day 2

There is a violation of the 11 and 14 hour rules at 2:00 p.m. on Day 1.
- 11 Hour Limit: After 10 consecutive hours off duty prior to the start of Day 1, the driver had 14 hours of on duty time available and 11 hours of driving time available, starting at Midnight on Day 1. The driver performed driving duties during the following times on Day 1:
1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. (4 Hours)6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. (4 Hours)11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (4 Hours)
Given the above breakdown of driving hours, we can see that the driver had operated a CMV for 12 total hours (4 + 4 + 4) on Day 1 without taking a 10 consecutive hour break. So on Day 1, the 11 hour driving limit has been exceeded and a violation occurred at 2:00 p.m. On Day 2, the driver began driving at 1:00 a.m. after taking 10 consecutive hours off duty. This reset the drivers 11 and 14 hour limits, bringing the new calculation point to 1:00 a.m. After driving for 5 hours between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., the driver never returned to driving again. Therefore, no violation occurred on Day 2.
- 30 Minute Break: On Day 1, the driver went on duty at midnight and would therefore need a minimum of a 30 minute break off duty in order to drive beyond 8:00 a.m. However, a 1 hour break was completed at 5 a.m. satisfying the 30 minute break provision and allowing the driver to continue driving without violating the break provision. On Day 2, the driver went on duty at 1:00 a.m. which is the new starting calculation point after taking a 10 consecutive-hour break. In order to continue driving beyond 9 a.m. (8 hours after the starting calculation point), the driver would need to take a minimum of 30 minutes off duty or in the sleeper berth. However, at 6 a.m. the driver switched to on duty and remained there until switching to the sleeper berth at 11 a.m. The driver was allowed to be on duty beyond 9 a.m. and only driving would have been prohibited. Since the driver did not operate a CMV for the rest of the day, no violation occurred.
- 14 Hour Limit: After 10 consecutive hours off duty prior to the start of Day 1, the driver had 14 hours of on duty time available starting at Midnight on Day 1. While the driver would have been allowed to remain on duty indefinitely, no driving was allowed after 14 hours (2:00 p.m.).
