When you do your pre-trip inspection, you have 14 from that point to complete your daily driving. Within that 14 hours, you're permitted to drive 11 hours, then you must take a ten hour break. You can work a total of 70 hours within a 7 day period (work include fueling, pre/post trip inspections, drop/hook, loading, unloading, DOT inspections, and anything else noted on Line 4 "On Duty" on a logbook).
For a non-CDL holder there is no legal restriction on the number of hours. Just be sure to pace yourself and don't run the risk of falling asleep at the wheel. For CDL holders I believe the maximum number of hours you can have logged is 10 hours, and then you are required to be "off-the-book" for at least 8 hours before you can drive again.
A CDL license is required to drive a skid loader. Many employers will require a CDL to get positions that require the operation of a skid loader.
It's the same throughout the United States. 11 hours, then a mandatory 10 hour break.
Exactly the same as you can without the hazmat. 11 hours, after which, you're required to take a ten hour break.
They can work up to 70 hours in a seven day period.
They can work as many hours a day as they wish.. they just can't drive for more than 11, they can't drive after the 14 hour clock is up, etc.
If the vehicle requires a CDL in service, it'll require a CDL for the test drive.
The HOS is the same as for any other CDL driver. The 14 hour clock starts when you do your pre-trip inspection. From that point, you can drive up to 11 hours within that 14 hour time period. Once that 14 hour period is up, or you've driven your 11 hours, you must take 10 consecutive hours off duty before you can drive again.
Yes, you will need insurance to drive with a CDL license.
You can drive vehicles which require the operator to possess a CDL....
Depends on which Class of CDL. A driver with a Class C CDL is not licensed on that vehicle. A driver with a Class B CDL can drive that combination only if the GVW of the trailer is less than 10,000 lbs. A driver with a Class A CDL can drive it.
There's no regulations on how much you actually need to spend sleeping, although you do need to use good judgment in that arena. A CDL driver does a morning pre-trip. From that point, they have 14 hours to complete all of their driving. Within that 14 hour period, they are permitted to drive for 11 hours, after which, they are required to take a 10 hour break.
