Note: If you do not have a full set of hours, the Gain Time At eld (top left) shows the
next date/time at which you will receive a full set of hours provided that you remain
in the same duty status. Gain Time is calculated when you have less than a full day’s
driving time available and if you are currently in Sleeper Berth or Rest Break status.

include a defect that was certied as Repairs Not Necessary. This denotes that
