    We get resets often enough to not usually worry about it, but I have run short of hours and taken a 34 on the road, can't remember exactly when but I went to Philly and Baltimore. Without a reset as I recall, and you work as needed and allowed in that case.

    Keep Trucking does keep track of the clock. Only glitch so far was taking a long break and leaving out before the split is satisfied with the intent of taking the qualifying one later. Still a work in progress, and my coworker is still running EROAD. I can't get him to even look at doing split breaks, so I get the odd timing multiple drop ones which require knowing how to make that work.

    I work Monday through Friday and will run 11 hours most days. Keeps it nice and simple that way. Some of our older drivers that stay out for awhile will generally run 8 or so hours a day and just use recapped hours for the duration.

    It’s all in how you want to run, (most) companies only concern is that the freight is picked up and delivered on time.
