you are not leagal
you are not showing 24 hours log .
what happen the last hour ?? is it on duty not driving or is it driving
you must show 24 hours complete and you must write in every time your statues change for example when you change from off duty to driving you must write where this change took place what state and what city when you took a break or fueling same thing By the way if you take break 15 mints you must show it in your log book
there is more to it but this is the basic

If you stop driving at 11 pm, then you are legal (as far as the 11/14 hour rule goes). At that point, you can either go off duty, sleeper berth, or on duty (not driving), but you cannot drive again until you have a 10 hour break.

I won't go into the fact that you didn't show a pre trip inspection, or a post trip inspection. :wink:

Why don't you guys just show more sleeper birth then off duty, when you're off or waiting on a load? It saves a lot of grief.

If you are in the sleeper berth, then you must legally log it as sleeper berth. You can use any combination of sleeper berth and off duty, as long as it equals 10 hours, and is not broken up with any on duty time. For example, if you spent 7 hours in the sleeper berth, and three hours playing the cherry master in the truckstop, you have fulfilled your 10 hour obligation, and can drive 11 hours again.

That doesn't apply if you are splitting your sleeper berth, but that is a different discussion.

But either way I can log 10 hours as OFF-DUTY instead of in SLEEP-BIRTH and still be LEGAL daily rite

Like Rev. said, you still don't have your pre-trip or post-trip inspections showing on your log. You need to show them. Drive safe everyone.
