8 day 70 hour rule?

You sit and reset your 70, or you run your 2 hours on the 8th day and sit till the next day when you regain some hours, or you figure out a way to fudge your logs

 

You have to manage your hours carefully. If you stop for a coffee or rest break move up to line 1 to conserve your 70. Also you can work a little less each day to stretch your hours out.

 

Pull your second log book out from under the seat and there you go fresh hours.

 

You can drive 14 hours in a day. But it sucks! Would have had to reset by now though... Now you just have to hit the ground running when your 8th day drops at midnight

 

No, you can drive 11 hours in a day, not 14 hours.

You can't drive after your 14th hour of coming on duty, but you can WORK as many hours as you want on line 4.

And to the O/P, I am in the same boat. Finishing up my reset in a hotel and then driving 9 hours tomorrow to my delivery, then headed 200 miles home for a few days of R&R

 

Are there ways to stretch your 70?

 

Come on man you have to be jerking around here. 70 is 70 that's it.

 

Was interested in if most drive 8 or 9 hours a day to help from resetting or other examples.

 

it all depends on your delivery time and how much it takes you to get there. its all depends in how you plan your trip.but 70 hours is 70 hours. once you hit it on your 8th day your done till you recover more hours or you can sit for a 34 reset.
