Computing Hours of Service
395.3 Maximum driving time for property-carrying vehicle-
Interpretations
Does a driver, employed full time by one motor carrier using the 60-
hours in 7-day rule, and part-time by another motor carrier using the 70-
hours in 8-days rule, have the option of using either rule in computing his
hours-of-service?
No. The motor carrier that employs the driver on a full time basis determines
which rule it will use to comply with 395.3(b). The driver does not
have the option to select the rule he/she wishes to use.
