[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 86272, member: 1912"] worn not sure what you are talking about. The 11 hour rule and the 14 hour rule are two distinctly different DOT rules. 1) The 11 hour rule applies to actual drive time on the road. Under this rule you can not drive more than 11 hours on any given work day. To track this element you would have to track how much time you drive on the road. Not deliver or anything else but drive. Because you drive within 150 miles of your building DOT does not require you to track your drive time and you are not expected to log this info. 2) the 14 hour rule applies to total time at work from punch in to punch out time. You do not subtract meals or breaks when measuring this time. Therefore if you punch in at 8 pm you have to be off the clock at 10 pm regardless of whether you took a lunch or not. This rule is also supposed to apply to commercial drivers driving more than 150 miles from your building. 3) the sixty hour rule applies to total on duty time in a week. to calculate this number you do subtract meals and breaks. While you are not expected to comply with 1 and 2 above if you drive less than 150 miles from your building you are expected to comply with the sixty hour rule if you drive. The penalty for not following those rules is that you and the company can be fined heavily by DOT. [/QUOTE]
