Log Book Help?

It isn't that your not allowed to stay out 3 weeks at a time or even
longer, there are restrictions on:
a) how many hours you can drive in a day (11hrs)
b)how many hours you can be on duty and still drive (14hrs)
c)how many hours you can work in a 7 or 8 day period
which is I believe 60hrs in 7 and 70hrs in 8 days.

It's really simple once you learn the basics of logging, you log it like you
do it. You can only drive 11hrs before having to take a 10hr break. You
can only drive those 11 hrs within a 14 hr period, once you are on duty formore than 14 hrs even though you only drove say 5 hrs you are requiredto take a 10 hr break before being able to drive again.

Everyday you keep a running total of all hours spent driving or on duty and that goes against your 70 or 60 hours. If you take a 34 hr period
without driving of going on duty then your 70 or 60 hr clock restarts which
is know as a 34 hr reset.

Hope this help you out.

 

Starting on Tuesday, you strike the hours driven on monday, leaving you with 59 hours counting toward your 70. It's a sort of rolling 8 day hour count.

[-]Mon drive 10[/-]
Tues drive 8
Wed drive 11
Thur drive 10
Fri drive 10
Sat drive 10
Sun drive 5
Mon drive 4

 

Not in the example you provided.

 

Correct...

10 hours in the sleeper merely reduces the hours counting toward your 70 hours in that rolling 8 day window. The 34 hour reset zeros out the hours and you start from scratch on the 70/8 rule.

Also don't forget that the 70 hours includes all on duty time, not just driving time.

jimbo,

there are some pretty good log book examples here
