8-Hour / 30-Minute timer
When you come off a break and change your duty status to either On Duty or Driving, the 8 hours/ 30 minutes timer starts counting down. You are required to take a 30-minute break before the time runs out on the 8hours timer. After full 30 minutes your 8-hour timer will reset, and you will have another full eight hours before you have to take another 30-minute break.
Please see our Split Sleeper Berth Provision article for questions about break timer flexibilities.
11-Hour timer
You may drive for no more than 11 hours per shift, before you have to take a 10-hour break. The 11-hour timer will count down any time you are in a Drive status.
14-Hour timer
As soon as you change your status to either On Duty or Drive after a 10-hour reset, a new shift starts. The 14-hour timer will start counting down and will continue, until you take a break in an Off Duty or Sleeper status for 10 consecutive hours. This timer WILL NOT stop counting down until a 10-hour reset has been completed in full and will not pause when you take your required 30-minute break or any other breaks during the work day.
Even if you have time left on your Drive (11-hour) timer, you are not allowed to continue driving once your shift timer (14-hour) is up.
70-hour (Weekly) timer
The total time spend on duty (either on duty or driving) in any 8-day period cannot exceed 70 hours. At midnight on the 8th day you may gain back time on your 70-hour timer when that day is no longer in the time range being used to calculate the 70-hour timer. In order to completely reset the 70-hour timer you need to take a 34-hour reset or 34 consecutive hours spent in Off Duty status.
