Package car driving hours

[kidlogic]

If you goto the Dept of Transportation's website at this link http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/Home_Files/revised_hos.asp then goto the bottom of the page and click on HOS frequently asked questions. Then click on question 16 does anybody get that we can drive 10 hours a day????? Help

It says we can drive 11 hours a day. But remember, UPS can show (by DIAD record), that we didnt actually drive 11 hours. We do delivery and p/u stops. Perhaps in that 11 hours we only drive 5 hours. The "no more than 12 hours on duty" is probably more important for us to know.
Now look at the next answer. "Off-duty breaks during the day do not extend the workday". Does that mean if you take a lunch, AND punch out at ten hours, THAT makes your 11 hours driving? (Not us, of course. We only drove 5 hrs, remember?)

Over9 five that is for feeders not package cars

OK. Then the only thing that matters to us is the 12 hour on duty rule, correct? We can drive on the clock for 13 hours, because 1 hour was lunch, AND we did not exceed 10 hours driving because we only actually drove 5.

You can be on road for 12 hours and drive 11 hours. Lunch is not a fact here.

Like I previously said I've posted my credentials. I know where I stand. Any further responses on this subject on my part will result in people like dammor jumping in and accusing me of picking on the kid punk. Therefore I'm done with the idiot.

So what your saying tie is that the Federal Dept of Transportation's website has the wrong information???? It has the right facts and it makes you look like the idiot because you shot your mouth off and were wrong....again....

[kidlogic]

This is the wording from the website. I just copied and pasted it here...you all judge who is right.
HOS Frequently Asked Questions
Does the driving time for 100 air mile radius exception drivers (require no log book) increase to 11 hours or is it kept at its current limitation of 10 hours driving?

A property-carrying driver using the 100 air mile radius exception is subject to the 11-hour driving time, 12-hour on-duty time, and 10-hour off-duty time requirements of the new rule. However, a passenger-carrying driver using the 100 air mile radius exception is subject to the 10-hour driving time, 12-hour on-duty time, and 8-hour off-duty time requirement of the old rule.

So is the website wrong tie???

Just as I thought Tie. When faced with the truth you become silent.
