    Answer:

    Work Shift

    • On-duty begins after at least 8 consecutive hours of off-duty/sleeper/waiting time.
    • Total shift time after taking consecutive 8 hours off is 15 hours.
    • Driver must not drive more than 12 or 15 hours in a shift.
    • The driver must not drive after 70 hours on duty/driving since the cycle started
    • For the cycle reset, the driver needs to take 34 consecutive hours off.
    • They can select a 24-hour restart exception, which allows any 24+ hour off_duty/sleeper/waiting
      to start a new cycle

     

    Split Sleeper Berth

    Drivers need to take two breaks of a total of 8+ hours off, where each period is at least 2 hours in sleeper berth status only.
