out-of-service defect is repaired and the repair documented before the vehicle is used again.
A corrective action plan is not required for a single vehicle defect; a waiver is not for safety
defects; state notification is not a standard requirement.

day?

restart after 34 consecutive hours off duty. However, the daily driving limit is 11 hours after 10
consecutive hours off duty. Since he took 34 hours off (which includes the required 10-hour
