I just wanna take a class my self that will teach me how to do my logs, how many hours I can work, and what vehicles require me to keep a log book. I don't think the guys I'm working with know jack shit. I need before I get into some serious trouble.

C_C lets see here... uh... From the time that you come "on duty" you can not work after 14 consective hours from coming on duty. Within these 14 hours you have 11 hours of driving time available. you must have 10 hours of OFF DUTY/sleeper berth to be able to have another 14 hours available. and you can't have more than 70 hours in 8 days if you reach 70 hours in 8 days you must take 34 hours off I think thats right.

what exactly do you need help with?

It would have taken me probably 14-15 hours to drive home today? One guy is telling me to come on home, and two others are saying I have to abide by the 11 hour driving, 14 on duty rules. I have no F'n Idea anymore.

Just lookit this cr@p! Been doing this over 20 years, but no one said... "Hey, let's ask MrC, he might know!" But nooOOoooo ....

I have a good mind to make ya find out for yourself now
