Recaps

All on duty time counts against your 70.

 

Referring to who? I contribute quite a bit.

 

It all depends also on what system you're using and how it's set up. I've had great success with the Qualcomm units. Usually go months at a time without a day off and that's how I prefer it. Learn the quirks of your system and you will do well. My current e-log device sukks to be perfectly honest. That's just my humble opinion of course.

 

I use an app called Recap+ on my Note 4...I believe it is available for Apple as well. It allows me to see what my used hours, available hours and what hours I am getting back....all at a glance with one touch (so I don't get caught using my handheld device while driving). So, if dispatch calls while I am rolling, or in the trailer tearing down to unload, or if my Peoplenet shut down after I have sat still with the key off...I can still see my hours and decide if the load he is offering is within my hours.

 

On a recap you have 70 hrs available in 8 days. On a restart you have 84 hrs available in 8 days.

 

How many of you guys drove before the 34 hour restart?

 

For me that was the only confusing part of the whole log. Lol

 

recap? some do not know how to make change with money, they always depend on a device to give a answer.

 

I drove back when it was an 8 hour break
