    I believe he means that would be the ONLY rule, no 70/8 day rule.

    bigdogpile: Here is what you said:
    mje stated:Rest 10 hours and do as you need to do with the remaining 14 hours, whether it is driving, unloading trailers, etc..

    Then you replied
    They already do..its called 14 on 10 off..Where does your confusion begin??

    Well, they are messing that one up! Starting July 1, 2013, you can not begin a reset sooner than 168 hours (1 week) since your last reset began. So, if you start a reset on Saturday midnight, the soonest you can start another reset is the next Saturday midnight. Also, a reset MUST contain 2 consecutive 1AM to 5AM time periods.

    Our is not to question way, ours is only to comply I guess.

    They're idiots. If you take 2 in a week ,1 isnt needed anyways. And you can always use whichever one benifits you.
