Rich,
I need some information on hours of work regulations. I have been reading
through your federal regulations to try to answer something about
combining "off duty" and "sleeper berth" time. Our regulations allow
13 hours of driving (you guys allow only 10) after "8 consecutive hours
off duty" . The regulations defines that as 8 consecutive hours off duty or
as time spent in the sleeper in two periods not less than 2 hours that add
up to 8. However, it does not provide for combining off duty and sleeper
berth, even if they are consecutive. Some drivers in an internet news group
are quite convinced that it is allowed, provided they run consecutively,
but no one can provide a source for that, other than anecdotal accounts of
being checked or audited and not being charged.
My personal take is that it is not legal here or there, but that it is
warning material.
????
BTW.... I keep seeing messages to you in this echo that appear to be
replies to you, but I never see any messages from you. Perhaps if you have
Internet access you could send it to me at:

Thanks
Dave
