Not exactly correct. Yes, you may be a driver but as long as you log your work time correctly (driving, on duty-not driving, etc.) you can work as many non-driving hours as you like. HOS regulations only specify when you can or cannot DRIVE. You can complete 14 hours of driving/non-driving work and then still work the dock for as many hours as you like for instance. You just cannot DRIVE again till you meet the rest requirements (10 consecutive hours off duty) in addition to not exceeding the 70/8 or 60/7 limitations.

I liked the old 50s logging system, you picked up the amount of hrs. used 7 days previous at the same start time.
If freight was heavy, you could be out of hrs. Fri and be off all weekend.
Not good for hungry, long winded guys.

When the bosses at a 60 hour company dont pay attention to the hours and you volunteer for a few late switches you call on friday and say " i have 4 hours left should i come in today "

And you can’t just do a 16 hour once a week. Can only be used if weather, or road closure,(accident) forces you into a delay, that you could have made it back in your normal 14.

13 hour drive time (2 hour extension) needs a reason like these. 16 hour rule does not.

I think that is the Short Haul exception rule.Within a 100 mile radius you can work an extra 2 hours. Maybe one day a week.But OD no longer allows it.Found out the hard way 1 day.
