8 days / 70 hours question.

The hours from your first day will roll off on your 9th day so how ever many hours you had on that day.

 

plus the 1 hour you had left on your 70

 

I think some call this roll over hours, as listed in a column the top number rolls or drops off and you basically add that number to the bottom of the column the next round, since you can't drive over 70 it takes 2 rounds to get the full 70 back again.

11 10 8 8 Hope this was the correct way to show it.

Hope this helps. But I would say be careful if you are not doing a 34hr reset. If you ever had
an accident of any type the records would be pulled and they would see you never had an off rest period and would nail you for sure.

 

don,t understand your your comment on bottom. i don,t beleive there,s a law stating you have to do a 34 hr restart yet. if you,re recapping, there,s nothing wrong legally.

 

May not be a law, but that is the first thing on some of the reports of a trucker hitting someone on some of the newsarticles, they pull his hours and review them, not sure how much bearing this has in a lawsuit but they seem to like to make it a case it sounds like for a fatigued driver.

 

i have done one reset in 3 months and still sit sometimes 20 hours waiting at cargill or tyson fatigue is not a factor
only reason i reset at all was waiting at cargill for 38 hours

 

Well I'm not saying hubby hasn't, but mainly just be careful. If records are pulled and you have driven everyday for months, then they gotcha.

 

I hear that. In van I only took a reset twice in the the 6 months I pulled the box. I usually stay out 3-4 weeks. Its easy to conserve your hours when in the van or reefer freight.

Now that I'm in flatbed im on duty a lot more and usually reset once or twice per trip.

What do they gotcha with? As someone mentioned earlier there is no requirement to take a day off so long as you don't exceed the 70 hours in any 8 day period. Unless you also drive in Canada in which case you need atleast 24 consecutive hours off in the past 14 days. Even that doesn't require a full 'day' though, just 24 consecutive.
