Owner/Operator - 7/60 hour rule or 8/70?

I think you might be getting a little bit too literal.
I think the "company" operates every day. Is not saying that the truck literally has to operate every day.

 

Well, when the company only has one truck..... Which is the whole point of the thread.
And it does specifically state operating a CMV. It doesn't matter what the office does, or doesn't do. It only matter if the CMV is operating. So yes, it does literally say the truck must operate every day to qualify for the 70 hour rule.

Again, we are talking about single truck companies.

 

No it says operates cmvs everyday. Not that the cmvs operate everyday. At least that's how I think it is meant.

 

That's one and the same on a single truck company. Don't be reading something that's not there.
Also, how can one operate a CMV off duty anyway? Remember we are taking a 34 hour reset.

 

Yard move

 

Yard move is both on-duty and not actually legal in and of it's self.
Another of the writing regs not being complete.
Yard Move is a valid duty status in the ELD regs yes, but Driving is still defined as
"Driving time means all time spent at the driving controls of a commercial motor vehicle in operation."
There is no exception in any other reg that changes that. Heck, there is even guidance that states running a PTO from the drivers seat is Driving.

But let's not get sidetracked, as even if Yard Move was legal he would still have to be On-Duty and in that case I agree the CMV is being operated that day. But it would also break the 34 reset.

 

But the cmv, is still operating. The driver is not. The cmv could even have a load. While on the 34. The reg doesn't say that the driver has to be operating.

 

While true, remember what we are talking about yet again. A single driver, single truck O/O.
I'm talking about a very specific scenario and you keep coming up with scenarios that simply don't apply.
Yes, if the truck is operated (I.E. team, or whatever) all of this is irrelevant.as not applying.

We are talking about a specific scenario of one driver, one truck taking a 34 reset and how the 60/70 rule applies in that specific scenario.

 

I'm talking single driver. IMO the truck is still operating whether in motion or not.

 

How? And how without logging on-duty and thus breaking the reset?
