    Well I'm confused on the log book restart! Someone help me out! Let's say I start off Monday at 8 am on an OTR trip, let's say by Friday afternoon I'm out of hours (my 70) when can I restart? I understand the two day 1 am to 5 am & I understand the 30 min. breaks but the restart is killing me!!! I've asked dot & some don't even know! Please help me out!

    Out of 70 in 5 days??? If you restart lets say Friday at about 4pm. You can restart 5:01 am on Monday morning. You have to have two periods of 1-5 am before you restart. You would be best to restart Thursday midnight and restart Sunday at 5 am. That is how it was explained to me.

    Don't forget about the new 168 hour rule. That is the nastiest part to me.

    That's what I'm asking! Do I have to wait 168 hours before I restart!

    168 hours from the start of your last restart before you can start the next.

    Unfortunately, we now have to know almost every detail to advise you or me. When was what you believe to be your last reset and what dates and Times did it cover.

    I am wondering how the regional guys that used to just get a 34 are adjusting to the new regs. They must be recapping or they're home much longer.
