HOS Restart Question

yes...it's a 70 hour 8 day clock......there's a bunch of fellas that never take a restart

 

It's not 10 hours of driving, it's 10 hours of work ... you can use for driving or any other work.

 

You do not need to take a reset so long as you do not log over 70 on duty and driving hours in 8 days. I stay out 18 days without a reset. If you properly use the chart inside your log books front page you can work out how many hours you have used in the 8 day period.

 

log every day as your 8th day if not exceed 70 you can roll, at least that was what i was told in class today

 

This may sound stupid, but Im confused as to how any of the hourly restrictions and timing works... whether its manual logs or elogs. Can someone, with experience beind te wheel and familiar with both sytems, give me the complete ''logs for dummies'' breakdown?

 

DAY ON DUTY AND DRIVING AVAILABLE HOURS

1 6.5 hours 63.5
2 10.25 hours 53.25
3 8.75 44.5
4 7.25 37,25
5 4.75 32.5
6 8.75 23.75
7 10.00 13.75
8 6.75 7.00

day 9 you get the 7 hours available plus day 1 13.5

9 9.75 3.75 + day 2 (10.25) 14.0
10 4 10 + day 3 (8.75) 18.75



and so on and so on
