    I've never used a recap and have a couple questions. I did some digging but couldn't find any answers for my scenarios.

    If I use up my 70 in 5 days when can I get some more hours back to drive?

    When you gain what ever hours you worked on 8th day. If you only worked 3 hours that is what you get...

    but under that scenario under todays rules on the 8th day you could have your seventy back, I guess this is a case of where us old guys have an advantage in having run under the 10 drive and 8 hour off rules.

    A few years back I would run hard and use up my hours in 5-6 days and simply did the restart. Tho now the rules are changing so this might still be an option but do your homework. I just back into driving after a few year break but do mostly local runs, so no log book for me.

    Looks interesting Fisher.

    Do you use it and print your logs or just use it as a reference guide?
    Does it work on a smart phone?

    there are apps for smart phones that do logs and i hear they are pretty good but me personally havent tried em. i use eclipse on my laptop and when i was in the free trail mode i ran paper and used the program as a reference after about 10 days i was hooked so was about the 4 "old timers" that i turned on to it i now run a cheap printer from wally world and print em in the truck. DOT loves them along with my office staff me personally my handwriting sucks so it has a been a god send for me even somewhat helps u out in the being "creative" aspect of logging
