Answer

11 hours
Under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for property-carrying vehicles, a commercial driver may drive a maximum of 11 hours after completing 10 consecutive hours off duty.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the qualifying off-duty condition.
The driver has completed 10 consecutive hours off duty, which fully resets the driving limit.
FMCSA regulations require a minimum 10 consecutive hour rest break to begin a new driving shift.
2
Apply the standard FMCSA property-carrying driving limit rule.
The maximum permissible driving duration is 11 hours.
Property-carrying commercial drivers are capped at 11 hours of actual driving time within their 14-hour duty window.
