The Solution

Drivers should be allowed to use off duty time to extend the 14 hour period by up to 2 hours when they are detained for extended periods of time at a shipper or receiver facility. Much like short haul drivers are allowed to take a 16 hour exception, long haul property carrying drivers should be able to exercise an Extended Detention Exception to increase the 14 hour limit to 16 hours.
