    My strategy would be to not mark a reset unless needed and do it from recap, that way, if you ever needed a reset, you would be well past worrying about whether or not 168 hours had elapsed.It's pretty easy for me as I almost never bump the 70, though, for those running much harder, it will decrease productivity.


    The holidays with less work available will make the 168 hour rule a big hassle, IMO. Any kind of unplanned downtime will have the same effect.

    I run off the recap, no problem, don't ever do a reset and run 3,000 + miles per week. Take a reset when I go home. Not that big of a deal.

    The only connection to "home terminal" is the time clock you run on. If you are eastern based, your clock is eastern and you can take it in Cali.

    I suggest you read your link a bit closer and get the real information.

    You do not have to take it at your home terminal..............................


    ONLY AT THE HOME TERMINAL TIME.........
