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.

How many hours can a cdl A driver work?

When the pretrip starts, a 14 hour clock begins. All driving must be done within that timeframe before a 10 hour break becomes mandatory. A total of 11 hours of driving is permitted between 10 hour breaks. The driver can work as long as they want or need to, but they must take a ten hour break after either 11 hours of driving or once the 14 hour clock is up before they can drive again. Additionally, a CDL driver may not drive if the total number of hours worked for the previous eight days is in excess of 70 hours. By the way, this applies to all CDL classes - A, B, and C. Some states have a special set of HOS laws for certain fields, such as oilfield workers.
