    34 spent at house paying bills, doing laundry, mowing lawns, drinking, cooking. 10 spent trying to sleep on I-40, usually.

    I always grab a hotel for my 34h. 10h I just listen to fat crazy old truckers ranting about politics in the tv room. I can't stay in my truck. Its a lightweight, so 8-10h driving, and 4-6h sleeping in a closet space .... rather not spend my free time there too.

    I'll give you a basic on this. You get 70 hours you can use in 8 days. If you use your 70 before your 8 days is up, you have to do a 34 hour 'off duty' reset to get your 70 back. Now he may not do all 70 in 8 days but he will at a point have to do a 34 reset. It could be at teminal, truck stop, rest area, or if he's lucky, at home. There treads here on the subject that can explain it better but that is the basic.
