The day about to recap, drive time in violation?

Sounds like you're running an eLog system I'm not familiar with.

 

On the Qualcomm system at midnight the hours come back automatically. If I had two hours available today on my 70 and more coming back at midnight, then I can start my clock at 10:00 pm (home time) and get underway. The clock will run down to one minute at 11:59 pm, then at midnight the recap hours appear.

IIUC you might be starting your clock earlier than 10:00 pm in my scenario. In that case you have to park the truck and go off duty before your available 70 runs out, then wait for midnight to get hours back. If you don't park it you are in violation of HOS.

 

Likely no, but do you have a safety manager you can ask about it?

Add the times up yourself to see if you went over somewhere.

 

Are you sure you're getting as many recap hours as you think you are?

 

It's not hard to use Qualcomm, hell it's almost idiot proof. If you are actually in Violation it will tell you with a loud audible ding and then it'll tell you that you violated the hours of service. Even while driving it tells you in the top right corner how many drive hours you have

 

That you are burning your 70 so fast that you're getting zero recap hours.
