Is it legal to drive 5 hours, rest 7 hours, drive another 5 hours, rest 31 hours, rinse and repeat?
Is this legal?

No due to running out your 14. Try doing an 8/2 split
tscottme Thanks this. -
Rest 8 hours. 7 hours doesn't accomplish anything according to HOS rules.
-
It's actually drive 4:50, rest 7:40, drive 4:50, rest 30:40.
So, it would be OK to drive 4:50, rest 8:00, 4:50, rest 30:20? Just need to move it 10 minutes at the ends I guess. -
Ke6gwf, TequilaSunrise and not4hire Thank this.

Your 8:00 rest must be "sleeper berth". And why rest 30-ish? If you're that close, can you make it 34 and get a reset in?
TequilaSunrise Thanks this. -
Yes, I mean sleep for 8 hours.
The big problem is with the 34-hour reset. I'm trying to fit this into a 48-hour line-haul rotation, leaving no room for a weekly reset. -

Because the driver has to pick-up/hand off to another driver at a specified time.

I see the signature "The Motorcoach Man" at the signature of the OP. Perhaps he is referring to the rules non-property carriers follow(buses) which are the old 10-15-70, with no 14 hour window. In which case his math is correct, he could drive 5, rest for 7, drive another 5, take 31 would reset the whole mess and he starts it all over again.
It is a typical chartered coach schedule, take a group somewhere, let them wander around the museum for 7 hours and drive them back.
AH, if we could still do that as property carrying(truck) drivers.Bean Jr. and brian991219 Thank this.
