First restart after home time

Yeah what he said.
If you were home for 3 weeks you could theoretically do another reset your second day out.
Work one day and do another reset.
Don't know why you would but it's possible.

 

Count the hours up between the last time you went off duty...They must be a mimnimum of 168 hrs between the time you went off duty till the time you take a reset with two periods between 1 and 5 AM of off duty.. If you have reset again during that 168 hr period you are in violation, period end of story....As to the computer elogs keeping track they are not always accurate and some of the systems do don have the updated software in them as of yet....so the elog may say you are not in violation of the 168 hr law and gives you a fresh 70 but if Mr. DOT counts up the hours and finds you in violation you are getting a ticket.

 

Well If you want to disagree with QComm, then you are certainly welcome to do so.i know who I would back. We can all make up stories about software updates yada yada, but to say that the DOT guy is always right is pure folly too. I've caught those guys out giving misinformation. So we will see won't we when ALL of us go elogs, then we can all figure it out. DOT only hand out tickets. They only enforce the law or dish out their interpretation but I'm sure when come down to it, in a court of law,it's going to be difficult to argue against a multi national corporation. But stranger things have happened. These HOS regs cause nothing but many arguments and disagreements amongst us. It's time to move on but good luck.

 

Your 34 hour reset happened three weeks ago, so your 168 hour "clock" ended two weeks ago. You are eligible to take a reset now.

 

You can only count one 34 per 168 hrs since your last 34 reset. Even though you might be forced to sit 2 days, you would not qualify to log it as a restart..thus continue recapping when returning to duty until you satisfy the 168 hrs rule since your last 34. Simply put the 34 restart is tied directly to the the last time you qualified.

If you "claimed' a restart in your log 3 weeks ago, you should be able to do another now. This isn't entirely clear in the regulations. Imagine that.

 

Actually, he wouldn't have needed to do a restart at all. He hasn't driven in the last 8 days.
