“Except as otherwise provided in § 395.1, no motor carrier shall permit or require any driver used by it to drive a property-carrying commercial motor vehicle, nor shall any such driver drive a property-carrying commercial motor vehicle, regardless of the number of motor carriers using the driver's services, unless the driver complies with the following requirements:”
The limits it applies
“Start of work shift. A driver may not drive without first taking 10 consecutive hours off duty;”
“14-hour period. A driver may not drive after a period of 14 consecutive hours after coming on-duty following 10 consecutive hours off-duty.”
“Driving time. A driver may drive a total of 11 hours during the period specified in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.”
“Interruption of driving time. Except for drivers who qualify for either of the short-haul exceptions in § 395.1(e)(1) or (2), driving is not permitted if more than 8 hours of driving time have passed without at least a consecutive 30-minute interruption in driving status. A consecutive 30-minute interruption of driving status may be satisfied either by off-duty, sleeper berth or on-duty not driving time or by a combination of off-duty, sleeper berth and on-duty not driving time.”
“Having been on duty 70 hours in any period of 8 consecutive days if the employing motor carrier operates commercial motor vehicles every day of the week.”
“Any period of 8 consecutive days may end with the beginning of an off-duty period of 34 or more consecutive hours.”
A study aid only. It does not apply the exceptions in 49 CFR 395.1 (for example adverse driving conditions, short-haul operations or sleeper berth periods) and does not cover passenger-carrying vehicles, which follow 49 CFR 395.5. Your record of duty status or ELD is the record that counts.
