Is the equivalent of 10 consecutive hours off duty the same as 10 consecutive hours off duty?
Guidance: No. Following 10 consecutive hours off duty, a driver may begin a new 14 hour tour of duty and 11 hours of driving. After a driver has achieved the equivalent of 10 consecutive hours off duty, the driver also begin a new 14 hour tour of duty and 11 hours of driving but the driver does not begin the new tour of duty following the 2 qualifying periods. The 14 hour calculation begins at the end of the first off duty or sleeper berth period.
