New Hours of Service

With these new rules that wont take effect til july of 2013 you will be allowed tonoting only ONE 34 or more period as your restart. Take another one after that but before the 168 hr timeframe(7 days) , time is gained back from your recap only.

 

My understanding is that if you take more than one 34 hr restart, you will go to jail, and you family will be put out of their home. Any pets will be euthanized.

At least that's the way I read it.

 

Tracy you forgot about the train ride to the "labor camp" This country is getting scary. Maybe if we restart twice we would fall under the new "Prolonged Detention" that is on the book now where you can be held WITHOUT TRIAL for up to ten years. This is just in case they THINK YOU WILL COMMIT A CRIME IN THE FUTURE. I have know idea where they are going with all these new laws and regulations but they make no sense so I'm betting its not good.
So the answer to your questions is most likely yes. After all we all know that after ten hours off we are so tired that soon we will be driving two off ten then a four day restart......crazy

 

Seems to me that after every 34 hour break your hrs would go back to zero & it wouldnt make any diffrence how often....

Well, that is how it is now, but that would make sense to leave the rule alone.

Yet a doctor can work as much as they want and they aren't limited by hours and they kill more people than truck drivers every year and no one says a thing.

 

And of course, don't forget your CSA bonus points! Collect the whole set......
