🕐 Driving Hours & Duty Clock Planner

How much driving have you actually got left, when is your break due, and what time does your day end? Pick your rule set, drop in the numbers from your log, and this shows every limit counting down at once — then tells you which one runs out first. Nothing leaves your phone.

Where these numbers come from — and where they can bite

US: 49 CFR 395.3 — 11 hours driving, 14-hour on-duty window, 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving, 10 consecutive hours off to reset, and 60 hours in 7 days or 70 in 8 with a 34-hour restart. Split sleeper berth pairings (8+2 or 7+3, neither period under 2 hours) pause the 14-hour clock — 395.1(g). Drivers inside the 150 air-mile short-haul exception run on 395.1(e) rules instead, which this planner does not model.

Canada: SOR/2005-313 — 13 hours driving, 14 hours on duty (16 with a deferral), 8 consecutive hours off before a shift, 10 hours off in the day, 70 hours in 7 days or 120 in 14. There is no federal break requirement; some provinces add one.

EU / GB: Regulation (EC) 561/2006 — 9 hours daily driving, extendable to 10 twice in a week; a 45-minute break (splittable 15 + 30) after 4.5 hours of driving; 11 hours daily rest, reducible to 9 three times between weekly rests; 56 hours in a week and 90 in any two consecutive weeks. GB domestic rules for goods vehicles are separate and stricter on the working day — check which regime your work falls under.

Australia: NHVR Heavy Vehicle Fatigue Rules, standard hours for a solo driver — maximum 12 hours work in any 24, at least 30 continuous minutes of rest after 5.5 hours of work, 7 continuous hours stationary in 24, and 24 continuous hours of rest in 7 days. Basic Fatigue Management and AFM change all of these numbers; this models standard hours only.

Rules change, exemptions exist and enforcement varies. This is a planning aid built from the published limits, not a legal opinion or a substitute for your log. When the number here matters, read the rule text that applies to you.
