70 hours/8 day rule

Get a laptop and purchase DDL software and play around with it. Best learning tool and best tool to protect your tail.

 

Yes I think I will get that program.

I often hear people say you can work the On Duty Not Driving line til the cows come home ie: 24 hours a day time 7 = 168 hours a week.

Other people will say you're limited to 70 hours either Driving or On Duty Not
Driving or a combination of the two.

 

Here's the easiest way to explain this, and it's been done several times before.

You can not drive past the 14th hour once you start your "clock" in any given day.

You can not drive past the 70th hour in any 8 day period.

You CAN be on-duty not-driving as long as you want after the 14 hour clock and 70 hours in 8 days.

All of this is deleted and you start back with 70 hours available after a 34 hour reset.

It's really pretty simple to understand.

 

Exactly. Unless the victoria secret fashion show is going to be on...

 

That sounds more like my way.

 

Waddaya wanna know?

 

Loose leaf logs cost 10 times regular. Everytime I'm at Dysarts I get 10 books at around $1 each and pull out the staples as I go.

 

Let me throw a monkey wrench in here.....What do you do if the Pigs wake you up at 5 hours into your 10 hour break and tell you to move your truck? And you have no available hours for 5 more hours?

 

I suggest an attitude check for you to begin with. Otherwise you will get what you deserve.

 

Well, that's uncalled for! It was a serious question.
