Answer:

  • Work Shift (On-Duty period) begins after at least 8 consecutive hours of off-duty/sleeper/waiting time.
  • Total shift time after taking consecutive 8 hours off would be 15 hours.
  • Driver must not drive more than 10 hours of the 15 hours in a shift.
  • The cycle starts 7/8 days before the end of the current day; no cycle resets.
  • Since the cycle started, the driver must not drive after 60/70 hours on duty/driving.
  • There should be 2 sleeper periods totaling 8+ hours, each 2-8 hours, and restarts the shift from after the first of the two periods.
