I'll go and boil your brains for a second...if you think a 34 hour reset is bad, can you even get your head around a 24 hour reset? See Regulations Section for reference. It's in 395.1(d)(1). I for one really appreciated the 24 hour reset when I worked oilfield.

Please excuse my ignorance, I've just gotten back into OTR after owning a local hauling and grading business and then spending a few months in the oil fields (different rules).
Could some one please explain what y'all mean when you say recap?
Also, could someone please list the options and/or full HOS rules as I'm a bit confused what the options and rules are for OTR 48 state driving.
Thanks in advance!! -

I still don't know what anyone means by recap though.
@STexan the bolt insurance link you posted is actually not correct (see what I mean by a lot of confusion out there.)
Bolt says "
What are the Rules?
Workers are required, by law, to record their hours accurately in a log book. In the event of an accident, these logs are recovered to determine whether fatigue may have played a role in causing the accident. The new hours-of-service law changes the following for truckers according to the Department of Transportation website on the regulations.
- Truck drivers are now limited to a maximum workweek of 70 hours. Before the new regulations, the limit was 82 hours.
- Drivers may resume driving after driving 70 hours within one workweek as long as they rest for 34 uninterrupted hours. These hours must include two nights, particularly between the hours of 1:00 and 5:00 AM, when the body clock needs sleep most.
- Drivers must take a 30-minute break within the first eight hours of their shifts.
- Additionally, drivers cannot drive for more than 14 consecutive hours following 10 consecutive off-duty hours.
- "
Anyway, here are the actual rules:

So, still would like to know what this "recap" thing is. Thanks!! -
Lets say you're leaving your home with 70 hr clock. Today is Monday and you drive 10hrs today. Next Tuesday you'll gain hours that you've used last Monday.
tifosi Thanks this. -
Recap just means keeping track of the previous hrs in the preceeding 7 days so you know how many hrs you can work today without going over 70 hrs in 8 days.
However I would like to add that a reset gives you an extra 11 hrs to work in an 8 day period. 81 hrs in 8 days can be done legally.tifosi Thanks this. -
Take the garbage you heard at the Petro coffee counter and at the shade tree at CDL school with a grain of salt or better yet, cipher on it. Let us know how this is possible for the rest of us mortals who no longer have the ability to time-travel.
