[QUOTE="michael, post: 73687, member: 1208"] The DOT states that you may not "drive" more than 10 hours under NORMAL conditions, 12 hours under ADVERSE conditions. You may , however, "drive" to the nearest safe place if you go past the 12 hour limit under ADVERSE conditions. Then take yourself "off duty". You may not be "on duty" more than 15 hours in any 24 hour period. You may not exceed over 60 hours on duty in any 7 day period. (There is also an 8 day regulation for OTR drivers)) Every driver is responsible for keeping track of their own hours and is responsible to the DOT if questioned. The company is also liable if they knowingly violate the regulations. Please note that there is a difference between "on duty" and "driving". This is the big difference for feeder drivers and package drivers) Most often these regulations are used/needed by feeder drivers, but occasionally by package drivers. [/QUOTE]
