OK, so if I only work 8.75 hours a day, I will have my 70 hours in 8 days,

and can in essence work 7 days a week, 52 weeks a month.

8.25 hours X 8 days = 66 driving hours an 8 day week

Remember too, that is ON-DUTY time, not driving time we are talking about!

but with out a 34 hour reset, you will have 1 1/2 days a week more to hat, ie. 12.125 more hours, so in the same 9 1/2 day time period you can put in 78.125 hours of driving time but have no time at home with the family.

Nah, I think I will stick to my 11 hours max driving time, no more than 70 / 8 days and spend a day and 1/2 a week with the family.

SAY WHAT??? Now, I am confused also!! :shock:

Yeah, KayCee!! I'm SURE you want to clear this up for the newbie who asked the original question, right?

And BTW, Uturn..... you are only required to keep SEVEN days of PREVIOUS logs. Not counting the CURRENT one.

We work in an industry where 15 minutes can cost us hundreds of dollars or more. Let's ALL try to be more ACCURATE in any figures we post for the newbies - and each other!

tottaly wrong. your logs for last 8 days have to be available for on the spot dot approval. although anything in the past year will cause problems for you when dot audits your company and you have to explain why it is worth the fines they have to pay just to keep you around. my company feels if the fines don't cover the cost of profits and insurance premium increases, I become a liability. ain't no such thing as a free lunch

(k) Retention of driver's record of duty status. (1) Each motor carrier shall maintain records of duty status and all supporting documents for each driver it employs for a period of six months from the date of receipt.

(k)(2) The driver shall retain a copy of each record of duty status for the previous 7 consecutive days which shall be in his/her possession and available for inspection while on duty.

I swear! I don't know what SOME guys were doing in CDL school! Sleeping, I guess!

I would NEVER have driven a rig off the lot if I didn't understand the regs! I REALLY wish "someone" could QUOTE me the reg (as the Rev always does,) that backs up THIS statement!!!

Hey, Dawn..... I got a "customer" for ya!! :lol:

I thought about quoting the reg back when Uturn first said that you had to have the last 8 days, but I was lazy and didn't want to look it up (hence my blank post after his).

Okay, Rev.!!

As for hijacking the thread with your blank post and your "lazy, didn't want to look it up" crap, I'll let it slide this one time...You try it again and you will start an LOSE a WAR very quickly!!

Yep. I guess I should read what is written instead of what I thought I wrote.

You're right golfhobo. I guess to be super human is a problem I'll have to work on. But as a mere mortal I have a long way to go.
