Would be OOS till 12:01am to gain back a day.

Assuming he WOULD gain any hours back at midnight! What if he burned all 70 in only 5 or 6 days?
In such a case, he would probably be able to move sooner by completing a 34 hour restart that would start the minute he was put OOS. (provided no one took his hood off!
)
Conversely (and I'm sure M/B will disagree,) if it happened at say... 8 p.m. on his 8th day, and he had hours to gain at midnight, he COULD be put OOS for LESS than 10 hours!
Had he been "split logging" and was within his 11/14 hour rules.... he could count that 4 hours as his 2 hour break and POSSIBLY be legal to move at midnight.
IIRC.... there is no longer a "minimum" OOS time of 10 hours. It now reads "OOS until compliant with the HOS" (paraphrased.)
Of course.... this would require that he is "attacked" by an LEO who understands the new HOS regs. They are few and far between!
