Default Help understanding DOT hours!

Can someone please explain the rules on how many hours a day/shift/week an OTR driver follows? I've tried to understand this but can't get a handle on it. I mean, you cant drive over 11 hours in a day, 14 in a shift? After 11 hours, I need 8 off or 10 off, then I can start driving again? No more than 60 in a 7 day period? Could someone explain if I left on a Monday morning, lets say and was driving across the counrty, how would these hours be worked? Thanks guys.
