Rest in = time until next required OFF DUTY Break which will be 4.5 hours from the time driver
performs a Master Log In (On Duty Not Driving). State Law (Appendix A) or Company Policies
may default to different time. Once the required break has been taken, the Rest In time will
default to Duty left time. State Law (Appendix A) or Company Policies may default to different
time.

2.2

Driving Left (2)
Driving Left = 11 hours of total driving in a 14 hour period. This will be a count down from the
time the driver performs a Master Log IN (On Duty Not Driving) minus total Driving time
throughout their 14 hour period.

2.3

Duty Left (3)
Duty Left = 14 hour shift for our CDL drivers which means they cannot drive past your 14th

Cycle Left (4)
Once a driver reaches 70 hours in 8 days  they cannot drive until they either have a 34 hour
reset, or they go back under 70 total hours for a rolling 8 day period. This will be a count down
from the saved On Duty hours, for the current work week up to current time counting down from
the drivers set weekly schedule time. Once they have been off 34 consecutive hours, the Cycle
time will be reset.
a. The 34 hour reset is *not* mandatory, but you cannot drive after being on-duty for 70
total hours in a rolling 8 days..(that includes dock time).
b. Once every 7 days  Drivers can use the 16-hour Exception and extend their 14 hour
duty period out to 16 hours. Thats only *once* in 7 days, and they *still cannot drive
more than a total of 11 hours that day*! (An example of that would be someone that
drove 10 hours, worked the dock for 5 (on-duty for 15 hours), and then had 1 hour left of
driving to get home).

2.5

Current Status Time Left (5)
Will be either the count down until they can go On Duty (Master Log In) or once On Duty the
