Bwwaahaaaa
Can sombody tell me how to figure this out, the correct answer is 14 hour clock: 5 hrs and 11 hour clock: 4 hours. For the life of me I do not understand how,
How many on duty hours are remaining after the following has been logged (use a scratch sheet of paper if you need to): On duty/not driving: 3 hours Driving: 4 hours Sleeper berth: 8 hours Driving: 7 hours Off duty: 2 hours
14 hour clock: 5 hours 11 hour clock: 4 hours
There is no time remaining on the drivers 11 or 14 hour clocks
14 hour clock: 7 hours 11 hour clock: 6 hours
Both the 11 and 14 hour limits have reset so all hours are now available
IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME YOU HAVE NO TIME LEFT ON EITHER 11 OR 14 HOUR CLOCK AND STILL NEED 2 MORE HOURS IN SLEEPER TO BE LEGAL TO DRIVE AGAIN. CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG. HOS ARE ALSO GONNA DEPEND ON YOUR RECAP TOO I WOULD THINK...
The portion of the tractor behind the seats which acts as the "living space" for the driver. It generally contains a bed (or bunk beds), cabinets, lights, temperature control knobs, and 12 volt plugs for power.
Operating While Intoxicated
Yes Guy it was in the high road training and the correct answer was given as the 14 hour clock had 5 hours left and the 11 hour clock had 4. I thougt no time left, but I have no idea, I got halted and so after that I just put the correct answer. I read it over and over. I have to finish that section on logbooks, I gave it a break, hit it again later in the week. I plan on going through the whole series again before I go to Central Refigerated.
A written or electronic record of a driver's duty status which must be maintained at all times. The driver records the amount of time spent driving, on-duty not driving, in the sleeper berth, or off duty. The enforcement of the Hours Of Service Rules (HOS) are based upon the entries put in a driver's logbook.

I see what you're saying now..Yes, there isn't anything that says you HAVE to split your sleeper berth time. But if you know how it works and you're familiar with it, it may come in handy when you need to drive and don't have enough hours..take for example, you get to a shipper or receiver and get told it's going to take 9 hours to unload you. Instead of burning those 9 hours on duty,but not being able to do anything but sit, you clock them as SB time and you get to push your 14 hour clock back 9 hours..course, if you're in SB for 9 hours then you might as well clock another hour and reset your ENTIRE clock, but that is a discussion for another topic..it's a tricky little rule and like I said, it takes some time to really figure it out, and I am by NO MEANS an expert, because I haven't even started CDL school yet, I just happen to have gone through the High Road training course twice and I am on my third pass through it just to make sure I have everything locked into my brain. HOS are one of those areas that you can NEVER study too much..
