Per day, if you work 8 hours, you'll have 6 left to drive. So if you work 8 hours Friday, you're not going to get off a ten hour trip unless you run 5, take ten off there, and 5 back on Saturday.
-
So if I worked 70 hours in 8 days and still wish to continue to work on the weekend or the next day. How would that work? Can I legally work on the 9th day or I need the 34 hour reset in order to continue? And also is their a roll over hours rule?
-
If you work Saturday only you should still be able to get a 34 restart in. Remember it must include 2 periods in between 1 am and 5 am. -
Also, You can not have more then one restart a week. Whether you use the 34hr or 24hr oilfield restart. I was unaware of it til recently. Stupid regulations
Lets say you did a restart over the weekend and sat on the well Tues and Weds. You have to calculate it as part of the week, not another restart. Regulations state, from your last restart, 168hrs must pass before another restart can be taken. -

I was putting emphasis on the START.
So, many people think it is the end of the last restart. -

Add up the hours you've worked in the 7 days prior to today. Subtract that total from 70. That's how many hours you have available today..... forever and ever, amen.
It's really that simple.
