HOURS OF SERVICE RULES:
Drivers may drive up to 11 hours in the 14-hour on-duty window after they come on duty following 10 or more consecutive hours off duty.

The 14-hour on-duty window may not be extended with off-duty time for meal and fuel stops, etc.

The prohibition on driving after being on duty 60 hours in 7 consecutive days, or 70 hours in 8 consecutive days, remains the same, but drivers can "restart" the 7/8 day period anytime a driver has 34 consecutive hours off duty.

CMV drivers using the sleeper berth provision must take at least 8 consecutive hours in the sleeper berth, plus 2 consecutive hours either in the sleeper berth, off duty, or any combination of the two.

Greetings to all my fellow truckers!

I'd like to welcome you and thank you for stopping by.
I know you won't be able to stay too long and chat because you've got many miles to run before the day (or night) is done.

While this site is under construction, I invite you to go ahead and use the Things To Do section and please feel free to leave your comments, suggestions and content you'd like to see posted.

This site is dedicated to the backbone of America; ALL TRUCK DRIVERS whether you are an Owner Operator or Company Driver & let's add in our Canadian neighbors.  We are all racing for the same thing and without your hard work and dedication to a job that offers little perks, a seldom Thank You and many rough days, the United States would come to a complete standstill. 

I want to say THANK YOU & God keep you all safe during your travels on the highways and byways of the great USA.
