Use the extension to complete the disrupted run
Know what the extra time does and does not change.
Up to two hours, not a routine allowance
A qualifying adverse condition can allow up to thirteen driving hours within a sixteen-hour window for property-carrying operations. Use the added time to complete the disrupted run or reach safety. It does not extend the sixty/seventy-hour cycle or remove the driving-break rule.
Use only the extra time needed for the disrupted run, within the limits that still apply.

Other limits
Cycle and driving-break requirements still apply
Use the time the disrupted run needs, rather than adding a new assignment.
Safe driving is still required
Stop if the driver is too fatigued to drive safely. Extra legal time, dispatch approval, or an app toggle does not make unsafe driving acceptable.
