[QUOTE="35years, post: 3852465, member: 60822"] Not exactly... Believe me we "clarified" this the last 2 years working 70 hours in 5 days. The Dot states the following: [I]14-Hour Limit May not drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty, following 10 consecutive hours off duty. Off-duty time does not extend the 14-hour period.[/I] Note that there is no mention of a 14 hour "on duty" time limit. You can not [B]drive[/B] past 14 hours. Many drivers in our building wait till the end to take their paid break, and don't take the unpaid lunch. They have to stop driving at the 14 hour mark. They can then do checkout, take break etc. past the 14 hour mark. We have even had drivers stop the truck at 14 and the supervisor comes out and drives the driver and package car in on a Friday, on the clock. You then need 10 hours off duty to punch in again. But if you punched out right at 14 hours with no unpaid lunch taken, you will be paid for 14 and have 10 hours off before the same punch in time. Our whole work group did this last year under the 70 hour rule. We burned all 70 hours in 5 days to avoid Saturday work. Any other rules like 13.5 max etc. are simply your management team's rules.
