Section 395.1(o) Exception? This provision allows the driver to drive in the 15th and 16th hours as long as he/she does not drive beyond the 16th hour since coming on duty, or exceed the 11-hour driving limit. Anyone use this? Or am I miss reading? I was looking for some practice log book graph grid and found this. No practice sheets! Anyone know if any are available?

Thanks,

I use it bout 2-3 times a month..... Its only allowed by local drivers to get to "home" base....

From my understanding, OTR drivers don't get the option to use this.

so for example, today I started at 0200 and was off work at 1700. If we go with the 14hr clock, I was 1 hr over my 14. I drove a total of 8hrs so I was under my 11, but still went past the 14, with this 16hr rule, I was able to leagally log 15hrs on duty, but I can't use this exception again until I take my 34hr restart.

0200 - 1400 = 12hrs 0200 - 1500 = 13hrs 0200 - 1600 = 14hrs ** The Standard 14 clock 0200 - 1700 = 15hrs

This exception would be logged like a normal drive/OnDuty time.

if you want to play with logs, theres a smartphone app called KeepTruckin which allows you to do a log book on your smartphone/tablet. It however is not setup for 16hr exceptions.

Thanks David, I saw that reg and it wasn't covered on tt. And another thank you for the app. That will be a huge help.

Hey thanks David I was not aware on how and if it apply to us OTR drivers....out

NP, I found out about the 16hr rule when I was at Gordon the first time.. I hit the button for it and got a phone call 10 mins later saying I wasn't allowed to use it, only local drivers.. I use it now though lol nothing like being on your 14th hour and still got 50miles to "Home" terminal....
