    Home terminal time, not necessarily at home terminal.

    The blue lines in the atlas with numbers on them are controlled access highways, not rivers.

    why would you want to do a reset I stay out 4-6 weeks at a time and very rarely do a reset and I average 3200-3300 a week my opinion resets are stupid why waste your time sitting on your lazy arse in a truck stop when you can keep moving of course I understand most of the young guys have to have there days off to rest

    I started from home on July 01 (Monday) with a fresh 70 hr clock.

    I ran 2,500 miles in 5 days using 45 hours to do so.

    Got home yesterday in afternoon and spent all day today off which is my sixth day of my 8 days.

    Will go back out in the morning which is my 7th day of 8 with 25 hrs to run.

    I will run 600 miles tomorrow and 520 miles on Monday which is my eighth day and still have 3 hrs left on my original 70 hr clock.

    Will start recap on Tuesday morning with 13 hrs and will get back at last 10 hrs a day until I get back home on Friday afternoon again because I managed my clock in a such a way that I will have slush hrs left on my 70 after the eighth day.

    Running recap and getting miles is a breeze if you work for a company that has the loads and knows how to dispatch you. Not sitting a lot at shippers and receivers helps too.

    If you look at my miles, I will have run 3,100 in 7 days and barely broke a sweat, not to mention have home time every week.

    I usually get home on Fridays early AM and after my reset I start my new week late Saturday evening for a Monday delivery.
    With the new rules I will either need to give up a load and get home a day early or leave home a day late and get there late Monday or early Tuesday.

    If your last 34 began on Monday, July 1, your next one cannot start until Monday July 8.
