Commercial Vehicle Drivers Hours of Service Module 9: Cycles
© Microsoft® In addition to daily and work shift limits, drivers need to work within cycle limits • What are cycle limits? • How many off-duty hours must a driver take to reset the cycle? • What is “mandatory 24 hours off-duty”? • How do drivers switch cycles, restart their current cycle, or change the start time of their day?

What will I learn in this module? • Cycle limits • Cycle resets • Cycle switching © Microsoft® Module 9 -
What are the cycle limits? • Cycle 1 – limits on-duty time over a period of 7 days • Cycle 2 – limits on-duty time over a period of 14 days • Reach cycle limit - driver must stop driving Module 9 -
What are the cycle resets? • Driver can take extended period of off-duty time (cycle reset) • After reset period – accumulated on-duty hours set back to zero, driver starts new cycle and resumes driving • Driver does not have to take cycle reset – driver can reduce hours so as not to exceed 70 or 120 hours Module 9 -
