**Important Note: Adverse Conditions must only be used due to unexpected weather or road conditions.**

Only one exemption can be active at a time. Always disable previous exemptions first. To monitor your updated hours for accuracy, the system will show your remaining "ON DUTY" time at the top of the dashboard.
