i'm sorry, but i don't think your question is quite clear. Would you please re-phrase it?

Run hard, use your 70 in 6 days if possible and take a 34. It's 8 days before you get recaps back. I always pull less miles on recap, ALWAYS. It just gimp your potential to have full shifts and be able to get your planner to give you longer loads.

Recaps... Do the math.
8 days 70 hrs, no reset.
8 days, 82 1/2 hrs, with reset.
Odds are you are not going to ever do 82 1/2hrs, but it is possible -
wait, there is 82.5 hours in 8 days?

Have to run 11 take 10.5 break, that 21.5 per day, leaving 2.5 carryover.... Believe me, it's theoretical. No one is going to do that, but the math works.
Normal would be about 77 to 80 in 8 days.
