The bus toilet is for liquid only. If someone goes number two and clogs it, that's one Overdrive on its own.
Know Your Overdrives
and Protect Your Clock
A higher safety standard for the luxury tour buses that carry famous clients. It goes past what the law requires, because the whole point is a more rested driver.
DOT, the government's trucking rules, asks whether a trip is legal. Overdrive asks whether it's the safest, most-rested way to drive. A trip can be fully legal and still run up Overdrives.
The Rules
There are seven rules, and they fall into four categories.
If you are new to this, the Rules page starts with a plain-language breakdown and then counts a real day's Overdrives step by step.
2
Off-DutyOff-Duty Overdrives
A driver should get 10 hours of rest in a row. Anything less is one Overdrive.
3
TimedTimed Overdrives
One Overdrive at 10 hours, another at 12, then one more for every hour after that. The clock never stops.
4
MileageMileage Overdrives
Miles count in three steps, 450, 600, and 700, read straight off the odometer.
5
OperationsClaim Logic
Miles and the 10-hour time Overdrive don't add up together. You keep the bigger one.
6
OperationsCo-Driver Operations
The co-driver drives the miles the main driver can't legally finish, so the bus still reaches the next city.
7
MileageLogbook Total Miles
Whatever your log totals for the day is what counts. 450 or more is an Overdrive, and 10 hours off doesn't reset it.
