16-Hour Short-Haul Exemption (Big Day)

Note

This exemption is compatible only with drivers running the Federal Property ruleset.

In addition, do not enable this exemption for drivers if they already have the Short Haul Air-Mile Exemption.

If a driver is eligible, you can allow the driver to claim the 16-Hour Short-Haul Exemption (Big Day) §395.1(o). Claiming this exemption has the following effects:

• Increases driver shift time from 14 hours to 16 hours for the day

• A banner displays on the HOS log to highlight the exemption

• Claimed and unclaimed events will add a remark in the HOS log

To enable this exemption for drivers, see Enable Exemptions for Drivers.

Effect on Driver Behavior

After you enable the 16-Hour Short Haul exemption for a driver, the Samsara Driver App provides a custom shift dial to provide visibility to the driver and applies the exemption to the shift. The Samsara Driver App provides the following driver experience for a 16-Hour Exemption:

• To claim the exemption, from the Daily Log the driver taps 16-Hour Short-Haul exemption and selects the time within the shift to apply the exemption. The exemption can only be claimed during the cycle it is applied.

• The exemption displays as a remark in the Daily Log and in the DOT Inspection log.

• Instead of a 14:00 hour shift dial, the shift dial displays a 16:00 hour dial.
