    If you really want to max out your hours, log 14 hours a day for 5 days straight then take a 34 and you will have 82 hours available in 8 days.

    ? Where do you get 82 hours after a 34 hour restart?

    Same place the former FMCSA director, Anne Ferro got it when she was quoted. She was the one who implemented the once per week 34 with two periods between 0100am and 0500am to qualify for a 34 hour rest break that some of the old salts around here may remember...

    I do recall that. Before my driving days, but I remember the controversy. Thanks!
