If you look on this site and others they also seem to not be able to take 1/2 hour break either. Plus I should add nowhere that I've worked has the 1/2 hour break for lunch has been paid the two 15 always were. Then i came to trucking where the companies want everything for free except driving...

Anyone who says they drive 11 straight hours without stopping are BS'ing everyone here and themselves. You need to stop sometime during the day to eat. Now it will be required to stop and have lunch with the 30 minute rule coming as of July first.

Did I miss something in your post, you say you reset over the weekend and unless you had to startt the day before 5am you both should have reset. Even if the other driver had to have a couple of hours more to get the reset they could have done that in the bunk as long as they didn't come on duty.

Zoory, you can take it at 5.5 hour mark which would take the break to the 6th hour mark and to hit the 14 is 8 hours later at which time you would either do a post trip or go off duty for 8 hours either one would be fine.

Unless you take more then one 34 hour restart a week you will not lose anything. Unless you never stop for anything lunch, pee break, the 30 rule won't affect you. Unless you violate the HOS the above wont affect you. This is JMO and you can take it or leave it. All is good

You are correct and thanks for catching my mistake and that is why I posted the FAQ, because I seem to forget to add the actual rule sometimes.

Here are the FAQ. from the FMCSA's web site. C. No driving if more than 8 hours since last break of 30 or more minutes The final rule requires that if more than 8 consecutive hours on duty have passed since the last off-duty (or sleeper-berth) period of at least half an hour, a driver must...

The only loads that get the on duty exception are only if you need to babysit the load 24/7. 7) Can time spent waiting to be loaded or unloaded count toward the break requirement? Time spent waiting to be loaded or unloaded is on duty unless the driver has been released from all responsibility...

This is for everyone, if you take the break to early then you would have to take it a second time. Therefore, break needs to be taken at the 5.5 hour or later. This is because the rule is written in a way that says from when you come on duty. not from the time you start driving. Please read...

No they call the BCO and ask if the'll talk to the people and give them info. I've done it a couple of times and I tell them the good the bad and the ugly of LEAM.

Just remember to start the break anytime from the 5.5 hour start of the day or you'll have to do another one before your 14 is up.

For some out there being overweight in a cargo van is different then being in a commerical vehicle.

And if you made cargo vans scale and log, the first thing they would do is just buy a bigger truck and enter the straight truck freight market. That's what I would do since there would not be an advantage to driving a van anymore for anyone.

I'm so glade that I'm just a couple of years away from getting out of this industry, maybe sooner.

The part of a driver representing a loss would fall on the person doing orientation and after that the trainer.

We drive truck.

What I think is so funny comes from the fact that some people don't even need a trial to find people guilty when they only her one side of a story. Plus the fact that as a O/O or leased driver none of what's going on affects us and our fuel discounts.
