[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 4146834, member: 42554"] Take the pay consideration out when thinking of Hours of Service. The DOT doesn't concern itself with your pay, just what you are doing. You are either "off duty"- which is to say "relieved of all responsibility", so if you are "engaged in waiting" such as for your Package car or Trailer to be loaded you cannot be "off duty". Then you are either "On Duty-Driving" or "On Duty-Not Driving". On Duty Driving is either operating a Package Car or Trailer or sitting behind the wheel not in a sleeper berth. All time once you leave the Building until you return is considered "On Duty-Driving" in a Package car with the exception of breaks or meal periods taken where you are relieved of all responsibility and "Off Duty". So when you report to work you would, from the time you punch in until the time you leave the building, be "On-Duty Not Driving" then change to "On Duty-Driving" until you took your meal period of 1 hours which would then be "Off Duty" then return to delivering so now "On Duty-Driving" until you returned to the building at which time you would be "On Duty-Not Driving until you punched out for the the day. If punching out at exactly 12 hours you would have 11 hours of "On Duty" combined time for the day so, after 10 hours of rest, you would be able to come On Duty again and drive. At the end of 5 days of the exact same HOS conditions (assuming all hours occurred prior to Midnight each day) you would have accumulated 55 hours of On Duty Time and have 5 hours of On Duty time available for the 6th day. As previously stated HOS doesn't care if you work 14 hours or 24 hours, just that you do not drive after 14 hours and no less than 10 hours of rest between whatever time you start work and the next time you come On Duty. Shifting in the yard is considered On Duty-Driving time for HOS purposes, but if you do no actually go "On Road" it would be hard to get a violation. A Package Driver can be "On Duty-Not Driving" and work in the hub all they want after the 14th hour but just cannot drive if they exceed the 60/70 or have less than 10 hours rest between shifts.
