[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1238092, member: 42691"] Well, I'll say this: the FMCSA doesn't make any of this crap easy to understand. SO many of these rules seem to conflict with each other. And our feeder managers don't know any of this, no matter what they say. Our managers tell us that we don't need the 1AM to 5AM, two days in a row rest, as the rules say. And last year, while I was stuck in traffic in a bad snow storm, as I was running out of hours, I called the on-road office to let them know I might not have time to make it back before my time ended. The manager I was talking to instructed me to go onto breakdown time, since I was stuck in traffic. I told him I wouldn't do that, because I wasn't broke down, and breakdown time is considered on-duty. I may have had the terms wrong, but I had the idea correct. Question 25 answers the problem I had last winter. Time spent stuck on a highway or a traffic jam is considered "driving time", since you are still at the controls. [/QUOTE]
