explanation

1212
There is a 30 minute break violation from 11 p.m. to midnight.
- 11 Hour Limit: After 10 consecutive hours off duty, the driver was eligible to drive for up to 11 hours beginning at midnight. The driver drove for 5 hours before obtaining 10 consecutive hours off duty using a combination of consecutive off duty and sleeper berth time. This 10 hour break moves the calculation point to 3:00 p.m., at which point the driver had another 11 hours available. Because the driver then drove for only 9 hours (out of an available 11), there are no violations.
- 30 Minute Break: After taking 10 consecutive hours off duty from 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the driver was eligible to drive for 11 hours. However, the driver did not meet the 30 minute break provision requirements. At 11 p.m., the driver had been on duty longer than 8 consecutive hours without a 30 minute break. As such, the driver was not allowed to operate a CMV from the hours of 11:00 p.m. to Midnight.
- 14 Hour Limit: After 10 consecutive hours off duty on the previous day, the driver had 14 hours available beginning at Midnight. The driver accumulated just 5 on duty hours before going off duty for another 10 consecutive hours. The calculation point then moves to 3:00 p.m., and after that point the driver accumulated 9 hours on duty which is within the legal 14 hour limit.
