[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 4146209, member: 51847"] I believe the only time break would count is if you're driving a hazmat vehicle and cannot leave the vehicle because of hazmat regulations. There may be other instances but this is the only one I can remember. It's been awhile since I took the DOT hazmat test, if I remember correctly some placarded hazmat loads, like explosives, have to be parked either in a safe haven or the driver must remain in line of sight of the load. in this case, the driver is taking a break from driving but is not relieved from all work duties because he is still required to stay with the truck and watch it. For this reason, break time would count towards his hours of service. If you're relieved of all work duties during break, your break time does not count towards hours of service for the week. It still counts towards your 14 hours for the day. I don't see how some people can't understand this. It's clearly stated in the DOT HOS regulations. [/QUOTE]
