Which restart provision allows drivers to reset their on-duty time?

• A. 11-hour restart provision
• B. 14-hour restart provision
• C. 34-hour restart provision
• D. 48-hour restart provision

Answer: (C)

The thing being tested is how a driver can reset their on-duty time under Hours of Service. The restart that resets the weekly on-duty clock is taking at least 34 consecutive hours off duty. This block starts a fresh cycle, so after it ends you’re again subject to the daily limits (an 11-hour driving limit and a 14-hour on-duty limit) from that point forward. The 34-hour restart is the standard method to reset the weekly clock. The other options aren’t restart provisions that reset the weekly on-duty time: the 11-hour limit is about how long you can drive in a day, the 14-hour limit caps total on-duty time in a day, and there isn’t a valid 48-hour restart provision under the current rules.
