[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1418394, member: 8481"] The law just says that you cannot drive after 8 hours without taking a 30 minute rest period. Driving the tractor in the yard, or breaking sets down and fueling, is not driving for DOT purposes. As long as you don't leave the yard, you are good. I actually took my meal around the 4th hour, got back to the yard around the 11th hour and shifted for 3 hours. If I was on road, I would have had to take another 30 rest period around the 12th hour. Yes, if you work long hours and take your meal too soon, you may need to take another 30 minute rest period before you get back to the yard. Had to do it 3 or 4 times. Anyway, I shifted for over 2 hours past my 8 hours driving since my last meal. Not a DOT violation. Never left the yard. If I did leave the yard, it would be a violation because I did not take another rest period after 8 consecutive hours on duty. UPS did not say a word. [/QUOTE]
