I thought they changed it to 8. Haven't had to log for a while so I haven't been paying much attention to their rule changing shenanigans.

7 days prior to today + today = 8 days.
If you've put in 65 hours on duty in the 7 days prior to today, you have 5 hours to work with today.
My point was just that you can do this calculation every morning for your entire career and never take a reset. Nobody cares if you take a reset or not... nobody cares if you're on duty not driving 24 hours a day... just that you don't drive if your 70hrs/8days is used up.kajidono Thanks this. -
I was working in the oilfield when the new rules came on. We very, very carefully clarified what applied and what didn't. The 1/2 hr break applies, but the only-once-a-week-restart provision doesn't. The 24 hr restart provision for the oilfield is written into law, whereas the new rules are just that...rules issued by a regulating body. The FMCSA rules can't supersede the law, therefore anytime an oilfield worker has 24 consecutive hours off-duty, it qualifies as a restart

It is unlawful for any person to operate any commercial motor vehicle in this state unless such vehicles are equipped and operated as required by Parts 390 through 397, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, as such regulations have been and may periodically be amended.
State LAW adopts the REGULATIONS, therefore when you are in violation of the regulations (rules), you are in violation of the law.rookietrucker Thanks this. -
Thank you! Saved to my laptop so I'll always have it for review.

So, if I had a 34 reset 6 days ago, do I still recover my hours from 8 days ago? Im assuming no, because they were worked before the reset, but it'd be pretty convenient at the moment if I did... thanks.for any help

Consider everything before a restart a 0, unless you didn't meet the criteria for a restart then you might be working for my company and telling me how your peoplenet is broken.
