I didn't read all the replies so it may have been said but this is for the op. There are two different rules to extend hours of service providing criteria are meant. The 16 hour rule has nothing to do with weather or traffic. Without splitting hairs, the operation we have allows you to use the 16 hour rule once per week with NO stipulations. The adverse driving rule allows you to extend to 13 hours driving but not beyond 14 total hours - unless you run a 600 mile meet you will almost never run into a situation where the adverse rule could be used. In order to use the adverse rule you could not have known about the conditions before you left your home domicile. Not only are they different rules, they cannot be used together.
It's a simple Google. I'm not a fan of this company like I once was, but the rule rule has been used legally in every instance I've seen. It's the break room hero drivers spreading misinformation about it that causes confusion.
I hope that helps. If not, Google it and read the regs from the dot and not heresy from other drivers.
