A driver may not drive beyond the 14th hour after coming on-duty following 10 hours off-duty. This means, once the driver begins an on-duty period of any kind, the 14-hour clock begins.

Example:

If a driver starts an on-duty status at 06:00, the driver would have to stop driving at 20:00 (14 hours later)

Effective October 1st the only way to stop the clock is a minimum sleeper berth break of 8 hours or more. This means all time spent waiting for trailers, paperwork, parking, etc will limit our driver's available hours.

Example:

Driver starts an on-duty status at 06:00, which means the 14-hour clock is up at 20:00. During the 14-hour period the driver also takes an 8-hour sleeper berth break. This now means driver has until 04:00 the next morning to get his driving in.

Once the 14 hours are reached, the driver may no longer drive but can continue to work. The driver must take a 10-hour consecutive break before resuming driving if they work beyond their 14th hour.
