How many hours have you got left?
Where you stand against the 11, the 14 and the 70 before you say yes to the next load.
Counts from when your day started, not when you started driving.
Models the standard property-carrying rules on a 70-hour eight-day cycle. Your ELD is the official record.

The rules this checks
Four federal limits for property-carrying drivers, and whichever runs out first is the one that stops you.
You can drive 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. Those 11 hours sit inside a 14-hour window that starts when you come on duty and does not pause: eat, load, or sit three hours at a dock and the window keeps running. You need a 30-minute break before you pass 8 cumulative hours of driving. And you cannot go over 70 on-duty hours in 8 consecutive days.
The one that catches most people
The 14-hour window. Your drive clock still looks fine and you have to shut down anyway, because the day started fourteen hours ago. That is why a long dock wait costs you twice what it looks like.
This is not your logbook
Use this to plan the next load. Your ELD is the record of duty status, and the adverse conditions, short-haul and split-sleeper exceptions are not modelled here.
