I know it would revert back to the 60/7 or 70/8 rule. When someone drives 70 hours do you have to wait until midnight on the 8th day to gain time back to be able to start driving again?

At the present time...if the courts decision is upheld or implemented... what will more than likely occur is this:

34 hour reset goes away.

10 hour break stays.

10 hour maximum driving time, unless a 10 consecutive hour break is taken.

8 & 2 Split sleeper berth stays the same.

70 hours in 8 days stays the same.

Quote: When you gain the time back, do you have the full 70 back, or do you have to start recycling time with no way to really reset?

Drivers will not recover all 70 hours unless they take off enough days to gain them back....that could mean 8 days straight off duty. Otherwise the hours will be regained at each midnight based on the recap when the hours of the 8th day fall off the recap when the following days log is prepared. The math sample that was shown previously was accurate.
