Do you have to drive the full 70 hours before doing a 34 hour reset? Can I rollover my hours?

Go get a log book is you do not already have one and read it. This will answer all your questions and explain clearly what you can and can not do.

The way things are now, any time you get 34 hours completely off duty, never going to lines 3 and 4 for the entire time, you reset your 70 hour clock back to zero in the eyes of enforcement.
It effectively does away with recapping your hours if you don't run too hard and would not get that many hours in 8 days unless you can't get that many hours off in a row.
It was chosen to disrupt regular hourly drivers as little as possible, you take your regular 10 hours off plus another whole day, and you are reset to zero.Last edited: Nov 20, 2011

Can rollover hours be applied to 34 hour reset?

Drivers of property-carrying commercial motor vehicles involved in interstate commerce have an option that allows them to reset their accumulated on-duty time. This option, known as the 34-hour restart provision, says that once a driver has 34 consecutive hours off duty, he/she may "restart" the 7/8-consecutive-day period. After the 34-hour period, the on-duty hours worked before that 34-hour period started no longer have to be considered when calculating the driver's 60/70-hour limit.

If you complete a 34 reset, you now have a fresh 70 to work. You cannot have more than 70, so, forget about rolling over any extra. (I'm assuming you want to have 70 plus extra hours un-used from the previous 70)
