• A. 5
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. 14

Answer: (C)

You must maintain a record of duty status that covers the last seven days, including today. This rolling seven-day window is what inspectors review to verify your hours of service, ensuring your driving time and rest periods for the recent week are accurately documented. The seven-day window must be in your possession and available for inspection, so having fewer days would not meet the requirement and having more days is not the standard need for inspection.
