I think you might be getting a little bit too literal.
I think the "company" operates every day. Is not saying that the truck literally has to operate every day.
Owner/Operator - 7/60 hour rule or 8/70?

And it does specifically state operating a CMV. It doesn't matter what the office does, or doesn't do. It only matter if the CMV is operating. So yes, it does literally say the truck must operate every day to qualify for the 70 hour rule.
Again, we are talking about single truck companies. -

Also, how can one operate a CMV off duty anyway? Remember we are taking a 34 hour reset. -

Another of the writing regs not being complete.
Yard Move is a valid duty status in the ELD regs yes, but Driving is still defined as
"Driving time means all time spent at the driving controls of a commercial motor vehicle in operation."
There is no exception in any other reg that changes that. Heck, there is even guidance that states running a PTO from the drivers seat is Driving.
But let's not get sidetracked, as even if Yard Move was legal he would still have to be On-Duty and in that case I agree the CMV is being operated that day. But it would also break the 34 reset.Last edited: Jul 3, 2022

I'm talking about a very specific scenario and you keep coming up with scenarios that simply don't apply.
Yes, if the truck is operated (I.E. team, or whatever) all of this is irrelevant.as not applying.
We are talking about a specific scenario of one driver, one truck taking a 34 reset and how the 60/70 rule applies in that specific scenario. -
