Not true. Drivers are limited to 11 hours of driving in a 14 hour period. After 10 hours logged in the sleeper, driving can commence. At 65 mph, 11 hours of driving equates to 715 miles. More if you are going cross country since you would have another 3 hours on the same day.

First of all, you’re not going to average 65 miles an hour. If you do and you get stopped, you’re getting a ticket. Second, those time zones count against you.

One more thing, it’s 11 hours driving in a 24 hour period. You got 10 in the sleeper and 3 for meals, taking a shower or whatever.

Not true...you have to log using the time of your base location.
