What happens if I go over 14 hours?

progressive discipline and you could be fined if the DOT inspects your logs.

this is FEDERAL and they take HOS regs very seriously.

You have 2 reserve hours... you can do 16 hrs... it just changes your start time the next day.

We are in the middle of a national emergency, no need to worry about hours. We are now allowed to work 24/7. Heroes don't quit after 14. Come on man!

Interesting. I didn’t know about the 16 hour exception rule.

So it says a 5 day pattern. Does that mean it can only be used on the 5th 6th or 7th day?
Nope, any day, every seven days or 34 hour reset. Just make sure to get 10 hours off duty before the next day.

You gotta remember you still can't work over 8 hours without 30 minutes off duty though.

So if you were to take your full hour meal between the 4th and 5th hour, you would need another 30 minutes off duty to work past hour 13.
