Should have also mentioned in my reply above: the break-even point is 61 hours 15 minutes on line 3 during the first six days. So if after six days you still have more than 8 hours 45 minutes left on your 70, you gain nothing by doing a reset on the 7th day (with regard to miles maximization anyway...you could still have other reasons to take the day off).
Hammer166 Thanks this. -
Honestly the question suggests a perfect world. The real answer is whatever the load calls for. I've had loads so tight that I had to burn all my drive clock. But others I could do the 8.5 hours average work day. So I guess you can say the answer is All of the above.
gentleroger, ZVar and Dockbumper Thank this. -
Yes, and in a perfect world you can drive up to 86 hrs in a week.
Actually drive
There are only 7 days in a week not 8 so please don't use 8 in your calculations. -
ZVar and Wasted Thyme Thank this.

Every time we cross a bridge, we have Newton to thank for inventing the mechanical theory that lets the engineers who designed the bridge know in advance that it will support the weight of our rig. Well, almost every time; I've crossed bridges before that I probably shouldn't have... -

Reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School. When asked by the economic teacher where to build the factory. "How about Fantasy Land." LOLgentleroger Thanks this. -
With a reset you are not limited to the 70 hrs in 8 days and
Nowhere does it say you are limited to 11 hrs driving in a calender day ,it just says after 11hrs driving you must rest for 10 hrs
In a 24 hr period you can log up to 14 hrs on line 3 legally.Cattleman84, peteseymour45 and Hammer166 Thank this. -
For the sake of the quiz... Long runs - reset, short runs - recap.Wasted Thyme Thanks this.
