About Overdrive Rules

Overdrive Rules exist because of who rides a luxury coach. A truck hauls cargo and a city bus carries the public, but a luxury coach carries high-profile clients: musicians, actors, politicians. That raises the stakes, so the company holds its drivers to a higher bar than the law. For the client, it means a more rested driver and a wider margin of safety.

DOT, the government's trucking rules, sets the legal floor and asks whether something is legal. Overdrive asks a different question, whether it's the safest, most-rested way to drive. A trip can clear DOT completely and still run up Overdrives.

There are four kinds of Overdrives: Off-Duty, Timed, Mileage, and Rule #1. Two more rules, claim logic and co-drivers, tie them together. This site lays the whole system out in plain words, so drivers, tour managers, and companies all read from the same page.

When a client rents a luxury coach, the bus is only part of it. The driver comes with a system built to keep them rested and sharp across a long tour.
