Hours of service

Been a long time since I've worked with recap hours, but if I'm understanding your post correctly, then you wouldn't get hours back till 12:00 AM monday.

 

Recap hours come back to you a week and a day later, so Sunday hours come back to you Monday, Monday hours Tuesday and so on.

 

Also, hours come.back to you based on the timezone your company uses, so if your company is in central time and you are in Eastern time you won't get any hours back until the day changes in Central time, or 01:00 Eastern.

 

Not being USA resident I can't help with the question but I am interested in the above reply re time zones. Here in Europe the clocks in the lorries always have to be set to the time zone in which the vehicle is registered, so leaving Ireland or Portugal in the west that is GMT+0 and includes the UK, but the moment we cross the Channel into France and then on east to Russia, or Turkey and beyond time zone changes have to be kept in mind regarding loading and delivering time but the lorry always has to be set to London time.

Does that work in the same way in the USA and Canada?

 

the company sets it's time frame and everyone uses the home terminal time so a California company's trucks on the east coast will be 3 hours [3 time zones] behind the actual east coast time...deliver at 8am eastern time but the log time shows it is 5am.

confusing, NO?

 

I see thanks, the same system we have in Europe them, no need to change the in cab time as long as you remember where you are regarding the local, to you, time for your reload or whatever. Better than remembering to alter a clock in the cab though.

 

Everybody remember, DST starts this Sunday morning(3/10) and we move clocks forward 1 hour. Of course there are a few who don't, you know who you are.
