hour's of service [14 hour rules]

[Bama1]

okay let me give you this scenario. you have a 8am pick up, 25 minutes away you just spent your 10 hour's off at a safe area you decide to beat the morning rush hour and head out at 5am arrived at pick up at 6am go off duty to 8am. if i'm not mistaken the 14 hour clock would still keep running till 10 hours of consecutive time off duty. so my questions is how would you handle this situation?

Hope you get loaded ASAP, or delay your departure, no stopping the 14 without taking 10 off.

If it's 25 minutes away I wouldn't leave until 6:30 since that would have me there by 7. That way it will limit the time lost from your 14 hour clock but will make sure that you arrive with plenty of time incase there is an issue. You only have 3 hours extra before you start getting into your drive time so don't show up too early.

I wouldn't start early if load wasn't ready early. How far were you go? Would it use all your time? Or were you looking to put 2 small loads together?

The other way is if you know in advance you can do your 10 hour break at the shipper

Ain't that wonderful , driver trying to keep stress levels down , by arriving early to avoid traffic congestion, then has more stress worrying over the 14 hour rule. .

Once you start your clock the only way to do that with a 3 h r off duty is to make it an 8 hr then you click stopped and you can continue

Same thing happens when you sleep 6 hrs and have make a delivery first thing in the morning you clock has started and you sit for 5 hrs waiting for the next load you can't do it cause you don't have the time to do a direct 500 miles cause you wasted you day waiting
