  • 2. 

    If you only work for 7 ½ hours, you are not required to take a half hour break.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If you only work for 7 ½ hours, it is not necessary to take a half-hour break because the law generally requires employees to take a break after working a certain number of hours. In this case, since the employee is working less than the required number of hours for a break, they are not obligated to take one.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    A driver's half hour break is to be used in the off duty status of the log.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because according to regulations, a driver's half-hour break should be taken in the off-duty status of their log. This means that during this break, the driver should not be performing any work-related activities and should be completely free from any duty or responsibility. This break is important to ensure that drivers get sufficient rest and avoid fatigue, which is crucial for safe driving.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    According to the 34 hour restart rule, if you wanted to start at 5:00 A.M. Monday morning, when would you need to be done working?

    • 7:00 P.M. Saturday night

    • 6:00 P.M. Saturday night

    • 4:00 P.M. Friday night

    • 3:00 P.M. Friday night

    Correct Answer
    A. 7:00 P.M. Saturday night
    Explanation
    The 34-hour restart rule states that a driver must take at least 34 consecutive hours off duty before starting a new workweek. If the driver wants to start at 5:00 A.M. on Monday morning, they would need to be done working by 7:00 P.M. on Saturday night. This allows for a full 34-hour period of rest before beginning the next workweek.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    You can only have one 34 hour restart every 7 days.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    According to the given statement, you can only have one 34 hour restart every 7 days. This means that after completing a 34-hour restart, you must wait for a minimum of 7 days before you can take another one. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    According to the video, what is the increase of trucks needed to haul the same freight, under this new law?

    • 5-10%

    • 3-7%

    • 10-15%

    • 20%

    Correct Answer
    A. 5-10%
    Explanation
    According to the video, the increase of trucks needed to haul the same freight under this new law is estimated to be between 5-10%.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What is the expected time lost per driver under the new law?

    • 15%

    • 20%

    • 18%

    • 25%

    Correct Answer
    A. 15%
    Explanation
    The expected time lost per driver under the new law is 15%. This means that on average, each driver can expect to lose 15% of their time due to the new law. This could be due to factors such as increased traffic congestion, longer commute times, or additional regulations that drivers have to comply with. Overall, this suggests that the new law will have a moderate impact on the time lost by drivers.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    According to the video, what is one of the most dangerous times to drive?

    • Morning rush hour

    • Just before lunch

    • 10:00 A.M.

    • Mid afternoon

    Correct Answer
    A. Morning rush hour
    Explanation
    Morning rush hour is one of the most dangerous times to drive because it is a time when many people are commuting to work or school, resulting in heavy traffic and congestion on the roads. This increased volume of vehicles can lead to a higher likelihood of accidents and collisions. Additionally, drivers may be more stressed and in a hurry during this time, which can contribute to reckless driving behaviors and a higher risk of accidents.

    • $2750.00

    • $7500.00

    Correct Answer
    A. $11000.00
    Explanation
    The fine for the carrier if the driver does not take the half hour break is $11000.00.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A driver is required to take the half hour break only after 8 hours of driving.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because according to regulations, a driver is required to take a 30-minute break after a maximum of 8 hours of driving, not after 8 hours specifically. This means that the break can be taken before reaching the 8-hour mark if the driver wishes to do so.

    Rate this question:

    What is the driver's concern about traffic with these new laws?

    • Rush hour will have more trucks

    • Drivers will not have enough home time

    • Companies will not be able to work all 7 days

    • Freight will not arrive on time

    Correct Answer
    A. Rush hour will have more trucks
    Explanation
    The driver's concern about traffic with these new laws is that rush hour will have more trucks. This implies that the driver is worried about increased congestion and delays during peak hours due to the presence of more trucks on the road.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    If you were to start your restart at 1:30 A.M. on a Saturday morning, what is the earliest time you could start driving again?

    • 5:00 A.M. Tuesday morning

    • 5:00 A.M. Monday morning

    • 6:30 A.M. Monday morning

    • 11:30 A.M. Sunday morning

    Correct Answer
    A. 5:00 A.M. Monday morning
    Explanation
    The earliest time you could start driving again is 5:00 A.M. on Monday morning. Starting at 1:30 A.M. on Saturday morning, you would need to wait until 48 hours have passed to start driving again. 48 hours from 1:30 A.M. on Saturday morning is 1:30 A.M. on Monday morning. However, the given options only have times in increments of 30 minutes, so the closest option is 5:00 A.M. on Monday morning.

  • 13.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    If you are shut down during the middle of the week for 34 hours, you could use that as a restart for the week.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Shutting down for 34 hours in the middle of the week would disrupt the flow of work and potentially cause delays or inefficiencies. It would not serve as a restart for the week, as it would require additional time to catch up on the missed work and reestablish momentum. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    If you start your 34 hour break at 3:00 P.M. on Friday, what is the earliest time you can drive again?

    • 5:00 A.M. Sunday Morning

    • 1:00 A.M. Sunday Morning

    • 5:00 A.M. Monday morning

    • 1:00 A.M. Monday morning

    Correct Answer
    A. 5:00 A.M. Sunday Morning
    Explanation
    If you start your 34-hour break at 3:00 P.M. on Friday, the break will end at 1:00 A.M. on Sunday morning. However, according to the hours of service regulations, you must take a minimum of 10 consecutive hours off duty before you can drive again. Therefore, the earliest time you can drive again would be 5:00 A.M. on Sunday morning.

    Rate this question:

    • 10%

    • 12%

    • 15%

    Correct Answer
    A. 5%

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    For your 34 hour restart, you must be off duty for 2 consecutive days between 1:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    To comply with the 34-hour restart rule, a driver must have two consecutive days off duty between 1:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. This means that the driver cannot work for a continuous period of 34 hours and then start driving again. The consecutive days off duty allow for sufficient rest and recovery time before resuming work. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 18.
